Pros

GitLab lives and breathes its CREDIT culture -- collaboration, results, efficiency, diversity & inclusion, iteration, and transparency. One of the most open, transparent, AND trusting companies you'll find. Leading-edge about how to work remotely.

Cons

Adapting to 100% remote can be a challenge for some.

Business Outlook

Pros

- very good peers - flexible time off - 1 Friday off per month - great documentation system -decent benefits

Cons

- upper leadership micromanagement - no responsibility on other teams to communicate - poor sales and sales dev training. They say it's good but it's not and for over a year nothing was done to fix it - leaders with 0 emotional intelligence to the point of it being shocking -below market pay for a all remote tech company -no consistency in hr . Some ppl are amazing others don't even know how they got the job - your hb is way too long and not as easy to navigate as the company claims - leaders will be gone without anybody explaining. Happened twice during my time there and it was odd and not at all in line with the supposed transparent culture.
