Pros

The values listed in the GitLab Handbook are no joke. They're apparent in everything the company does. I love the commitment to transparency both inside and outside the company. As a 100% remote company, results are valued more than "time in seat" which means there is more time I can spend with my family and I don't have to feel guilty about stepping away for 20 minutes in the middle of the day. A truly global team means most work is done asynchronously, which means fewer meetings and more documentation.

Cons

None that I can tell so far. Remote work isn't for everyone, but it works for me and my family.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! You mentioned the need to be self-organized, which is definitely an important skill to have in any remote role.
