Pros

I've been here for just under a year and genuinely love everyone I work with. People care about what they do, they're sharp, and they're motivated. I've been around long enough to know the grass isn't always greener — the market is unpredictable and no company is perfect. I'm really happy with my leadership team and the individual contributors I get to work with.

Cons

We're still working through our AI strategy, but outside of that, our playbooks are well established in regards to managing customer accounts (expansion/upsell sales motion). I am a minority. We can work on hiring more minorities and being more diverse.

Pros

There was a moment that GitLab was full of talent and potential. It is truly a shame that this is going away. Some talent is still there but obviously on the lookout

Cons

Lack of understanding how business outside of North America is conducted. Zero empathy, haphazard decisions that contradict each other twenty minutes after being implemented, too much superficiality and hypocrisy at high levels and a lot of incompetence in key roles, which unfortunately kills talent and, above all, the much-vaunted values ​​ij the handbook like transparency. To give you an idea of ​​how dysfunctional the company is, they share private information with other people in email threads. If Remote is what you are looking for, there are tons of Companies in a better shape.
