Pros

Gitlab is such an amazing company to work for. The culture is so welcoming and accepting of EVERYONE. They make it crystal clear that you are an important member of the team and anything you are able to contribute will be appreciated. Being able to work fully remote from almost anywhere is also a big perk! They also really enforce that family comes first and work comes second - you are urged to take care of yourself and your family.

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.
