      A company that makes flexibility a reality

      Pros

      Being an all-remote company there is plenty of autonomy and flexibility to work in the way that's best for you. Leaders and most people at GitLab very much embrace the values which leads to a collaborative, transparent, results-oriented environment. People are encouraged to make contributions they think are important, even if it's outside of someone's scope of work.

      Cons

      Being an all-remote company there can often be a lot of written updates that need to be processed. It can be a little tough to keep up on everything that's happening.

      Thank you for your review. We’re delighted about your positive experience working at GitLab and that you see our values embraced and demonstrated by other team members throughout the company. While we are always iterating on how we disseminate company-wide communication and updates, we appreciate this feedback and would be open to any ideas our team members have on how we can provide remote communication more effectively!

      A Company Built by Engineers for Families

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -The ability to work anywhere asynchronously with your co-workers. The new found freedom gained with your loved ones and or family is life changing. -Working with highly motivated and highly intelligent individuals. With the company's core values, everyone is expected to be engaged for our and our clients betterment. -GitLab is an amazing product for DevOps and DevSecOps. There aren't any places you will work where you get credibility from industry peers by name alone.

      Cons

      -The company requires highly motivated self-starters. Due to the nature of a remotely distributed company with asynchronous work, you will need be scrappy at collecting data and good at your own project management. -While GitLab does a fantastic job of creating social events to kindle relationships between peers, it obviously will never have the same kind of social environment as an in-person employer.

      Pros

      - A company that actually practices the good values it promotes. - Puts great emphasis on the welfare of its employees. - Great work life balance. - Awesome benefits, above the median.

      Cons

      - Not sure if this is really a con, but you have to make an effort in making connections with the global team members. That means you have to set some small amount of time to just chat with your other team mates from other regions.
