      Not all as it seems

      Pros

      Remote working, transparency, pay, budget for office set-up

      Cons

      I wish I could be writing more positives but unfortunately, I had a bad experience working here. They don't really know what they want or need when hiring, and seem to hire and fire new people quite often (with a non-disclosure agreement). They were not very supportive of juggling parenting/working during Covid and school closure. I wonder if the CEO actually knows what is going on in his company or if it's inept Managers/HR muddling along. I felt victimised, unsupported and never experienced working in a culture like this before. Shame. You are asked to review on Glassdoor within your first 30 days, misleading....explains a lot of rose tinted perspectives.

      We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, but we're disappointed to hear that this was your experience at GitLab. As our leaders have reminded the team many times over the past year, we're firm believers that family and friends come first, and work comes second. This part of our core values is especially important during a global pandemic. We encourage all team members to please reach out to their manager or People Business Partner with feedback on how we can better incorporate "family and friends first" into the daily GitLab experience. Thank you again for sharing your input to help us continue to iterate and improve. We wish you all the best!

      Pros

      - The onboarding process is fantastic; it is very well structured and designed in a way that most tasks can be completed without needing additional help - Everyone is very welcoming / friendly and always willing to help - I always feel part of a team as people are always willing to help each other and pair up on tasks when needed - Flexible working conditions are a big bonus; I can structure my day around personal things I need to get done - Even though I am working from home I always feel connected due to team meetings, coffee chats etc.

      Cons

      Everything has been positive so far :)

      Pros

      I had my doubts before joining GitLab, about the culture and the values for they seemed all too good to be true. I've been here for 2 months now, and I can confirm that it's all true. More reasons to work for GitLab are: - The amazing culture makes you feel welcomed and fitting in. - The values are not just there for bragging, everyone does live by them. - You get to work with some of the smartest, nicest and most helpful people you can ever meet. - The flexibility to plan your day to how it suits you best. - They don't measure hours, they measure results. - The "no ask, must tell" paid time off policy. - Everyone can contribute! It's great to feel that you are listened and have the power to make changes from day. - The level of "Transparency" is just amazing. I may say this is my favorite value of all.

      Cons

      Coming from a typical office job, it takes some time to get used to the all-remote and async communication model. All-remote is not for everyone! and async communication - in addition to causing some delays - can sometimes result in feeling disconnected.
