Pros

Where do I start? - Fully remote - Awesome leadership - Incredible work life balance including flexible schedules and unlimited (actually unlimited) PTO where you don't feel guilty for taking it - Phenomenal benefits including free healthcare, office equipment reimbursement, and cool swag - Competitive and transparent salary (I was offered over my expected salary range) - Amazingly detailed onboarding that is time consuming and at times overwhelming, but absolutely necessary and truly sets you up for success within the company - The nicest, hardest working, and most genuine co-workers I have ever had and supportive managers

Cons

I do think GitLab does a better job in comparison to other companies in bringing in diversity for leadership positions, but they still have work to do though I know they're on it. I would like to see more reinforcement of GitLab values. My fear is that as we continue to grow and scale, there will be team members that don't care to uphold our values and follow our handbook which are important pieces of GitLab and what I feel really sets us apart in terms of a place of employment.

Pros

Being an all-remote company there is plenty of autonomy and flexibility to work in the way that's best for you. Leaders and most people at GitLab very much embrace the values which leads to a collaborative, transparent, results-oriented environment. People are encouraged to make contributions they think are important, even if it's outside of someone's scope of work.

Cons

Being an all-remote company there can often be a lot of written updates that need to be processed. It can be a little tough to keep up on everything that's happening.
