GitLab reviews

The way teams are organised creates silos, which affects the end product (it sometimes feels like separate pieces bundled together) and collaboration. If you are interested in making a change that affects other parts of the product it is a very slow process, as async communication can take long. Too many distractions that take your focus from your priorities and sometimes these are not beneficial to the product, waisting valuable time (many of the OKRs fall into this category in my opinion). Depending on the team and maturity of the product there are differences on how much processes and values are followed. The politics that are frustrating and some of the managers are incompetent, don't know the product or just have too many people to manage.

Lack of understanding how business outside of North America is conducted. Zero empathy, haphazard decisions that contradict each other twenty minutes after being implemented, too much superficiality and hypocrisy at high levels and a lot of incompetence in key roles, which unfortunately kills talent and, above all, the much-vaunted values ​​ij the handbook like transparency. To give you an idea of ​​how dysfunctional the company is, they share private information with other people in email threads. If Remote is what you are looking for, there are tons of Companies in a better shape.
