Pros

Unlimited PTO, asynchronous work culture, and a mandate to prioritize your happiness and balance your work with your day to day life. A culture which promotes thanking others and recognizing and rewarding people based on their work. What more can I say about GitLab? This company is amazing to work for and has been a dream job for me!

Cons

We have employees all over the world, so you need to be able to work across time zones or be good at working asynchronously with colleagues who may be across the world from you.

Pros

Just because a company allows for remote work doesn't mean it does it well. GitLab does since from its inception as a company it's been building a remote-first culture. Communicating asynchronously is embedded into the soul of the culture, so that it enables a truly asynchronous working experience. This allows employees to have truly flexible schedules that accommodate for the other important things in life--family, friends, important work outside of work-work that we really care about. The engineering culture is also A+. High standards are enforced through code reviews. It's a highly collaborative environment where GitLab issues are an easy way for anyone to submit an idea for discussion. I feel both supported and challenged to grow in my role.

Cons

Not having a physical office is tough in that it's hard to build personal relationships and rapport with coworkers. Compensation is below market for companies of similar caliber.
