Pros

1. Gitlab is an awesome place for work/life balance: fully remote but with FTF meetings at will, both with customers, partners and employees, really family oriented. 2. Great product that customers love. 3. Awesome sales growth.

Cons

1. The company prefers to hire new people instead of promoting from within, which leads to significant headcount churn. 2. Uncapped revenue churn at some levels in the sales organisation, which may not even be legal, amounting to significant penalties on the sellers who may have no control over the matter.

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.
