Pros

If you have a passion for DevOps this is the place to be. GitLab offers the opportunity to contribute to every aspect of the DevOps loop and uses its own software to improve the performance and productivity of its own developers and developers everywhere. Are you a skilled developer who prefers using and contributing to open source solutions? Do you value transparency, rapid iteration, and your own autonomy? If so, then you would fit right in at GitLab.

Cons

As part of a rapidly growing organization with remote employees working together from all around the world, you will need to be naturally self-driven in order to succeed. GitLabbers are wonderful and talented people and the onboarding process is long and well-conceived. But, as a manager-of-one, you will need to embrace disciplined personal organization and balance work and personal life appropriately to ensure your own health and happiness.

Thanks so much for leaving such a thorough review! It's important to consider all the pros and cons of fully remote work, so it's great that you brought that up. We've submitted a merge request to add one of the cons you mentioned to the "all-remote" page on the GitLab site: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/23664
