Form my 1st day in Gitlab, I saw that everyone is there to help you, to answer your questions so you can integrate more easily. Everyone is involved and the company's values are a way of living.
1) Understands the importance of spending time with your family and friends
2)Helps me to grow as a Talent Sourcer, but also as a person
3)Knows the importance of their values and takes them seriously
4)Promotes self care
Cons
These are not cons, but advices.
1) Because we are working remotely, don't forget to take your time and go outside
2)Try to have as many coffee chats (small meetings) as you can so you can meet a lot of people from the company.

Thank you for your review, and for the great advice to others about remote work! It's so important to take breaks and time away from work when you need it. Dropping a link to our handbook page about time off for those interested in learning more: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/paid-time-off/
Best company I've ever worked for. Strong culture, great leadership, competitive compensation, excellent work life balance, and a genuine focus on employee well being and career growth.
Cons
Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.
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.
