Pros

Overall I really enjoyed most of my time at GitLab, as I had worked there for 5 years before the leaving. It was only in the last few months the cracks started show. - Remote work - Unlimited PTO (this got a bit more strict as time went on) - Good pay for UK + RSUs - Good pension - Average UK parental leave - 16 weeks paid

Cons

- New CEO has taken GitLab from a fantastic unique company, to just another large American corporation without a soul - Basically all of previous C-suite is gone, and Bill has brought in his old friends

Pros

Remote only, Decent pay, Handbook first (Used to be)

Cons

Beware of the APAC GTM Team. They are hiring people only from their circle or contacts and not allowing anyone to grow in the org
