Pros

Flexibility Autonomy Excellent salary Full of lovely people

Cons

Not many opportunities to meet with team members if you are very remote. Work from home lifestyle is not for everyone (it certainly is for me though).

Pros

Working at GitLab has been a breath of fresh air compared to your typical tech companies. I have worked at lots of companies that have all the “bells & whistles” - great benefits, free food, unlimited PTO, slides in the office, you name it. Those companies also claimed transparency and that they cared about their employees, but their actions never compared to their claims. Gitlab on the other hand, I can say with complete confidence - they practice what they preach. They genuinely care about their employees and actively practice transparency in everything they do. No smoke and mirrors. I can’t even express how good it feels to be working somewhere that I am proud to be at & doesn’t hide anything behind closed doors. They not only care about you personally, but professionally, actively encouraging both vertical & horizontal growth to your career at GitLab while giving you the means to do so. On top of this, the people who work here are all so genuinely kind and willing to help. I feel so grateful to have gotten a job here! The recruiting / interview process was seamless and transparent, just like the company & product - I always knew what to expect and felt supported every step of the way. They are respectful of you and your time, ensuring that the process doesn’t last for weeks and weeks like typical interview processes. Overall, GitLab sets a prime example of how ALL companies should treat their employees. Keep it up!

Cons

No cons I can think of unless you think being fully remote is a bad thing!

Pros

I've been raving about working for GitLab to everyone who will listen. I'm so glad I decided to take this job. GitLab does things in a completely unique way even for remote tech. Asynchronous work means less meetings, more trust, more flexibility, and more creativity. I love feeling completely comfortable working when I feel most productive and taking time to exercise or enjoy my life outside of work. I'm cranking out more work than I was ever able to at companies with 3-5 hours of meetings per day, and still fitting in all of the things I need to take care of myself like walking my dog at lunch.

Cons

There is a ton of documentation to read through to learn the product and team info which could be super difficult for some, but even if you are neurodiverse, there are plenty of resources to thrive. I downloaded a few text to speech tools which are super helpful.
