Pros

Just because a company allows for remote work doesn't mean it does it well. GitLab does since from its inception as a company it's been building a remote-first culture. Communicating asynchronously is embedded into the soul of the culture, so that it enables a truly asynchronous working experience. This allows employees to have truly flexible schedules that accommodate for the other important things in life--family, friends, important work outside of work-work that we really care about. The engineering culture is also A+. High standards are enforced through code reviews. It's a highly collaborative environment where GitLab issues are an easy way for anyone to submit an idea for discussion. I feel both supported and challenged to grow in my role.

Cons

Not having a physical office is tough in that it's hard to build personal relationships and rapport with coworkers. Compensation is below market for companies of similar caliber.

Pros

Aside from being able to work fully remotely, GitLab holds true to their values and continues to apply them to every decision made. Everything is open and documented in the Handbook which makes workflows much more efficient. No matter your position, your opinions are valued just as much as the next person's. GitLab has a very clear vision and they make sure that steps are taken and documented to get there. They also CARE about their employees!! Compensation is reviewed on a yearly basis to ensure you're getting a fair salary compared to the market, vacation is unlimited, with a no ask no tell policy, and everyone is extremely supportive.

Cons

Haven't run into any thus far.
