Pros

* Remote * Flexible vacation policy

Cons

* The company has zero diversity. Women rarely speak up, rarely get promoted, and as you can see on the team page, rarely make it to the top. Women have left after being harassed by their managers, and no one's done anything about it. * Compensation is definitely below the normal, as much as they claim it isn't * Fast growth is causing a culture shift and competitiveness is becoming the norm - this isn't the GitLab it was years sgo

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.
