Great culture and benefits

Pros

The executive team at GitLab is excellent and wants people to be happy at work and succeed in their jobs. I've been given every tool I need to be successful. Working remote has been amazing. I have the opportunity to mold my work schedule to be whenever is most convenient for me. I usually take a break during the day to run errands or go to the gym.

Cons

Working remote isn't for everyone. Some people can feel isolated. The company is also quick to let people go if they aren't able to work effectively remotely. This has led to a few people that get hired and then let go very quickly or within a few months. I think the company is making efforts to fix this in the hiring process.

Pros

Communication internally is fantastic, as this is a remote first organisation, they have ensured the right channels are available to allow transparency, a direct but kind approach and a lot of collaboration. Brilliant products to work on Knowledge sharing Diversity Leading/ Mentoring Management style Flexible approach I can go on here the whole day...

Cons

If you are a non engineer, you'll need to get Tech savvy and fast :-)

Pros

GitLab has an amazing culture driven by results. They do not care when you work, but that you simply get the job done. It is refreshing to work for a company that allows this sort of freedom. Everyone at the company is friendly and welcoming.

Cons

If you are not a fan of working from home (or working remotely) than this company is not for you. The freedom and flexibility come with the possibility of feeling lonely, but GitLab is doing its best to combat that. We have instituted coffee breaks where you schedule time to take breaks and chat with co-workers. We also have many channels on Slack to communicate with co-workers.
