Pros

I have worked a bunch of different places, but GitLab has to be my favorite so far. The culture permeates the organization. Everything is done remotely and asynchronously so I don't feel pressure to keep my seat warm and there is no commute. I am actually encouraged to take time off. Also, the benefits cost less than what my health insurance alone cost at my old job. All in all, I hope to make a long career out of working at GitLab.

Cons

You need to be self-motivated and be able to find a place to focus to work remotely. Not really a con, but something for potential employees to consider. Also, you may be able to get paid more elsewhere, but the benefits of working remote are worth their weight in gold.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Great advice about the need to be a "manager of one" to be successful in an all-remote environment. Here's a guide in the all-remote section of the GitLab Handbook with other tips that might be helpful for potential candidates: https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/getting-started

Pros

GitLab is doing really important work in tech. You have the opportunity to help shape the future of the DevOps, which is applicable to countless fields. The company culture is really transparent, which is evident in the online handbook.

Cons

Working fully remote isn't for everyone. You need to be self-motivated and willing to work in a non-traditional work environment.
