Pros

The people are amazing - everyone has been so nice and helpful with answering questions (work related or not) Very flexible - they worked with me through a hard time of traveling to see a sick relative even during the interview/hiring process. This continues afterwards as well with allowing me to schedule time off very easily.

Cons

Working remote - its a bit of an adjustment, even though I love it, but there is no office so when filling out new hire docs and getting work equipment it does take a bit to figure out.

Welcome to the team! Thank you for leaving a review, and especially for sharing your story about needing to take time to visit a sick relative. That flexibility is definitely one of the reasons GitLab is so unique, and we're glad to hear you've continued to experience that on the other end of the hiring process as well.

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.

Cons

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
