Pros

- The company is very result-oriented, but it doesn't mean that result is the only thing that matters. - You're the manager of yourself: nobody will be counting the hours you "work" or the butt/seat hours you put in. - One of the company's core values is collaboration, and most people in the company will always be happy to help. - Work with some of the smartest and coolest people ever. - Work from home, or anywhere else (If that's for you, for me is priceless). - The company supports you with all the necessary equipment for your work-station.

Cons

- The company is growing a lot, even during COVID times they keep hiring people, which is great. But that rapid growth brings growth pains like some new individuals not being aligned with the company values and goals. - Some internal processes can be really slow, HR for instance. Likely due to staff limitation or the quick growth previously mentioned.

Walking the Walk

Pros

GitLab offers an 'environment' in which all team members are enabled to succeed - from ensuring correctly spec'd equipment is made available (globally) to their unique and thorough onboarding mechanisms and the role specific training - every touch point has been carefully considered making sure everyone can not only quickly immerse and begin to contribute but do their best work while doing so. GitLab walks the walk making sure that the company values are breathed into every facet of the business i.e. collaboration + results + efficiency + diversity (and inclusion) + iteration + transparency.

Cons

At first some of the tech-speak may seem intimidating to new team members - this is quickly overcome through the training mechanisms and handbook however it can be overwhelming (particularly as someone who had never used Git prior to joining). It can take time to establish a rhythm / routine if this is your first all-remote role - you may find yourself online for longer than anticipated for the first few weeks.
