Pros

- Servant leadership from management is unparalleled at GitLab. Most high growth startups put product/solution first and the people get left behind - not here! They understand the importance of building the community as well as the product. -GitLab embraces a fully transparent "open source" culture and the values represent this - just check out the handbook online. - Visionary solution that is changing the DevOps market and how companies develop their software. - Remote company provides a great work/life balance!

Cons

- High growth start up - comes with natural growing pains/multiple hats

Pros

A fantastic company to work for, full of kind, respectful and genuine people all of whom are always happy to help. You'll meet everyone every nine months or as you wish as there's a financial contribution each time you travel to visit colleagues.

Cons

The way we work takes some getting used to, you need to be a fast reader as everything is written down. The interview process is long, be patient!
