There is a gap between GitLab's core values and reality

Customer success manager (csm)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

GitLab is a good DevOps tool, and if you have the initiative, you can learn a lot from your customers and colleagues. You get to know great people who love technology and want to improve the developer experience.

Cons

A lack of diversity within the Customer Success management group is leading to employee dissatisfaction, particularly among Black and Brown team members. This has negatively impact team morale and performance. A lack of transparency and open communication hinders collaboration within this team. Managers operate in an exclusive circle, favoring their own ideas and discouraging constructive criticism from team members.

Pros

Most of the ICs at GitLab are great people who want to help.

Cons

Almost all of the managers are career-obsessed and only care about looking good for their manager. The talent assessment process has no back-and-forth with the ICs and holds no relation to the real world. Sid also trying to overhaul the company culture by changing the values without due process from general team members speaks highly to the value they have for everyone's opinion. I would be shocked if GitLab was still a nice place to work at by next year.
