Pros

Work from home gives so much time for family and things you want to do but never had time due to long commute times Very supportive, collaborative team You know you are trusted as an employee to have proper work ethics - unlike companies that think you will slack off if they don't constantly watch over your shoulder Everybody accepts everybody, you can be you without worrying Good benefits

Cons

Miss non-virtual interactions with colleagues

Thank you for your review. It’s fantastic to read that your role with GitLab is allowing you to spend more time with family and to do the things you didn’t have time to do before joining the team!

Pros

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.

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.
