      Not the company it once was

      Pros

      Flexible work hours, emphasis on async and delivering results rather than time online/behind a desk, incredibly talented team of individuals from all walks of life, company genuinely cares about all forms of diversity and emphasizes the importance of mental health

      Cons

      Typical growing pain for a late-stage company, but the company values (collaboration, results, efficiency, DIB, iteration, transparency), particularly iteration and transparency, are quickly becoming obsolete. Leadership can be particularly prickly to work with, many positions lack actual and obtainable growth opportunities

      Pros

      Some of the practices I saw in my tenure at GitLab make for good “you won’t believe what my former employer did!!” cocktail conversation

      Cons

      New Sr Leadership is a JOKE. Most must be buddies of the CEO rather than experts in their field. Hiring decisions are horrid with new team members coming in having huge egos and limited skill. The Chief People Officer is worse - promoted from within, he doesn’t know how to lead and clearly doesn’t trust his team. They can’t launch a program on time with some programs having multi-year delays and limited communication as to why (just ask any current team member about the “job architecture project”).
