      Culture is gone after the new CEO started

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overall I really enjoyed most of my time at GitLab, as I had worked there for 5 years before the leaving. It was only in the last few months the cracks started show. - Remote work - Unlimited PTO (this got a bit more strict as time went on) - Good pay for UK + RSUs - Good pension - Average UK parental leave - 16 weeks paid

      Cons

      - New CEO has taken GitLab from a fantastic unique company, to just another large American corporation without a soul - Basically all of previous C-suite is gone, and Bill has brought in his old friends
