Pros

Remote company culture. People are mostly great. GitLab is still beloved in the community.

Cons

Direction and competency has sharply dropped. Heading more and more towards micro-management territory.

Pros

Remote work. Smart coworkers. Good base salary.

Cons

Total comp declining significantly for multiple reasons, including imploding stock. Clueless management that no longer believes in company values. Sexist managers. Lots of silent layoffs, along with high turnover from top performers who already jumped ship. Some low performers who work very few hours and have very low impact/results but get paid just as well as top performers.
