Pros
have now been with GitLab for about 4 months. I left my previous company not because it was a bad company, not because I wasn't getting paid enough, but because but they did not understand the importance of being able to work from anywhere especially from home surrounded by family. See I grew up in a single mom house hold, I'd never trade that experience and my Mom is the strongest woman on the planet, but I spent so much time alone, or at daycare, or not with my Mom because she had to work all the time to make a life for me. I have woke up every morning since I started at GitLab along with my 12 month old son, to make breakfast for him and my wife. I spend every day working from our home, where both my wife and son are as well and I can step away, spend time with them, play with my son, take him on a walk. This is something that I have wanted ever since my son was born. I just want to thank you for providing a work place that places family at the top of mind for employees. I have never been happier in a role or at any other company than I am at GitLab.
Cons
The only con is based on the individual. This is a totally remote company. You must be prepared to reach out to others and to share, communicate and be willing to learn without being in an office. But with that being said, GitLab assists in travel costs if you'd like to visit another employee to spend time working along side them learning and getting to know your team.
