Pros

Work from home gives so much time for family and things you want to do but never had time due to long commute times Very supportive, collaborative team You know you are trusted as an employee to have proper work ethics - unlike companies that think you will slack off if they don't constantly watch over your shoulder Everybody accepts everybody, you can be you without worrying Good benefits

Cons

Miss non-virtual interactions with colleagues

Thank you for your review. It’s fantastic to read that your role with GitLab is allowing you to spend more time with family and to do the things you didn’t have time to do before joining the team!

Pros

Some of the people are really great and the product itself is really believable and it makes you proud If you enjoy being left to your own capabilities to find out the answer to your questions then its great very empowering

Cons

Unfortunately so many things They pay sign on bonuses for recruiters which is underheard of (mostly) except if you are fit the age old mold of cis white male They dont value the team that have been there the longest and refuse to give them pay increases even when the work load has increased x5 They ask illegal questions such as why are you taking vacation on such days There is 0 diversity coming from the 2 VP's any role they have someone in mind that they used to work with will automatically be hired,internal and external candidate's sometimes dont even get a response or acknowledgement of applying The leadership VPs rarely get to know their team and leave the more challenging things to everyone else There is no road map on how to progress They will block you from applying for internal positions Dont expect your efforts to be recognised in this team but the engineers are well looked after and thats actually great

Pros

GitLab is truly embracing a remote workforce - I can work anywhere, anytime and keep up with my colleagues around the globe.

Cons

To ensure transparency and the ability to communicate at any time with peers around the globe, there is more documentation than may be ordinarily required at a face-to-face company.
