Pros

The culture is supportive, everyone on the team helps each other succeed. Leadership has very intelligent strategy and transparently communicates this internally and publicly. The Gitlab single DevOps platform created this space and is leading the marketplace. Most of our customers are raving fans of the product, it's that good. The all-remote culture is intentionally crafted to cultivate collaboration and teamwork to produce winning results.

Cons

Haven't noticed anything lacking or needing improvement that Gitlab leadership hasn't already identified in transparency and communicated a plan to address. This company moves quickly execute on its plans so I have a lot of confidence in its ability to execute. My employment at Gitlab exceeds my expectations.
