Pros

Great place to work with a lot of autonomy to do what matters. Fellow team members truly live out the company values CREDIT. There have been crises at times, but as with any company of a decent size (close to a thousand employees), mistakes are bound to be made and the effect are compounded by the amount of public exposure that comes with being of that size. What is important is that everyone from literally all faces of the earth comes together to work together to face the crises and learn from the mistakes, while at the same time not putting any blame.

Cons

Not really a con but rather a challenge: contractor arrangement for people from most countries can be challenging and even disadvantageous.

Pros

* Technical interview: you get a dummy project to work on. As a backend engineer, this is critical. * 100% Remote work * Benefits * Super helpful team members * Everything is written down. You have traceability and version history of everything. Check the GitLab handbook. * Dogfooding. GitLab uses GitLab for its day to day activities. * Cross team collaboration

Cons

* Onboarding can be intimidating. * It takes time to get around how things work and are organised but this is mitigated by the handbook.
