Pros

Honestly, I have never worked with a company that practices what they preach as much as GitLab. I was honestly skeptical at first as promises of "Transparency," "People First," and "Company Culture" are typically more hollow aspirations than reality, but GitLab backs up what they claim. It's like buying something off of Amazon because the reviews are great and, when it shows up, it's exactly what you were hoping for. It's rare, but it happens.

Cons

Not really. So far, so good.

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.
