Pros

This company is like a breath of fresh air compared to any other company I've worked for before. The flexibility and transparency that the company strives for meets and exceeds all expectations I had as an employee. I was able to take more time off in my first two months here than I had in the last two years and that was without using any PTO - just company mandated days off. I always know my goals and have a clear view of what I'm working on which allows me to grow within my role in very big ways. I highly recommend this company to anyone and my excitement shows when I get the chance to speak with candidates.

Cons

If you're not used to the async communication style on a global scale - it can really throw you off. A lot of the things you do are self guided and driven only by you, which is wonderful if you're ok with minimal oversight, but if you're the type of person who needs the face to face daily interaction than this company may not be for you.

Pros

Great technology that is truly disruptive

Cons

The sales territories are very saturated at this point and it seems the motion is to growth and headcount over seller’s commissions.

Pros

- Thoroughly enjoyed my time at GitLab - Amazing product that just keeps getting better - Fantastic culture of all-remote - Flexible work schedule - Leaders that live the values - Transparent CEO who is accessible, visionary, and inspirational - Excellent professional development reimbursement - Forward thinking, cutting edge organization design - Smart and collaborative coworkers - Accessible leadership - Straight shooters, not-very political

Cons

- Information and cognitive overload due to amount of information being exchanged. Pace never seemed to let up even after IPO - Everyone can contribute applies to your individual work and can slow you down as anyone can assign you something to do. Have to learn to say “No” here more than most jobs - A bit robotic at times
