Pros

Smart, passionate co-workers. GitLab has an excellent culture consisting of a very open, transparent, and flat hierarchy. The people here love what they do and are willing to go the extra mile to help and make sure any job is done in the best way possible. Pay is good, company is growing with excellent market position, and did I mention it is work from home.

Cons

Work from home can be a negative if you aren't used to it and don't have a bit of an independent streak. The resources and help from co-workers more than makes up for it, and you don't have a hybrid environment because everyone works from home. Everyone works super hard so you have to find your own work-life balance.

Pros

I have worked remotely for several years and worked at GitLab remotely for 1 month. I must say that GitLab is light years ahead of most companies when it comes to creating the most efficient remote work environment. I think the key to their success is using tools to support their remote needs. I have listed a few below: Recruiting Remotely - Use Zoom for candidate interviews Release Planning Remotely - Use GitLab to track and Plan Software Releases Agile Ceremonies - Use Automated Slack Bot to facilitate daily Stand Ups across remote time zones - Use GitLab to perform asynchronous Sprint Retrospectives Meetings & Company Announcements - Use Zoom and YouTube for Meetings & Company Announcements Socializing Remotely - Use Zoom for informal Coffee Chats - Use Slack for various social channels

Cons

I have nothing to report.
