Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! You mentioned the need to be self-organized, which is definitely an important skill to have in any remote role. There are more helpful tips in this guide to getting started in a remote role: https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/getting-started/

Pros

I have worked remotely for several years and worked at GitLab remotely for 1 month. I must say that GitLab is light years ahead of most companies when it comes to creating the most efficient remote work environment. I think the key to their success is using tools to support their remote needs. I have listed a few below: Recruiting Remotely - Use Zoom for candidate interviews Release Planning Remotely - Use GitLab to track and Plan Software Releases Agile Ceremonies - Use Automated Slack Bot to facilitate daily Stand Ups across remote time zones - Use GitLab to perform asynchronous Sprint Retrospectives Meetings & Company Announcements - Use Zoom and YouTube for Meetings & Company Announcements Socializing Remotely - Use Zoom for informal Coffee Chats - Use Slack for various social channels

Cons

I have nothing to report.
