Pros

So transparent about everything we do. GitLab really lives by its values every single day and we apply them in everything we do. Benefits are very very good too! Though GitLab is an all-remote company, there are so many recurring events/activities and encouraged coffee chats with team members that make us feel very connected to each other. The idea that everyone can contribute is very accurate from the very first day and they trust you to make decisions regardless of how long you've been here. It really feels like family (they also even say family comes first) and I'm grateful to be a part of this embracing and talented team!

Cons

Honestly, there is nothing I can think of.

Pros

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Cons

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
