Pluspunten

- Love love love working fully remotely! Helps a lot when it comes to manage family life. - Interesting product and great tech stack to work on. - I work with a bunch of cool people, I get to have video calls with them often. - I've been enjoying working asynchronously! For example, sometimes I get to finish my day with some work handed over to a team member to review. This team member would be located somewhere that's 10-12 hours ahead of me, which means that when I start a new working day, it's likely that I'll have already receive my reviews from my colleague. As a developer, asynchronous work is definitely something that works well.

Minpunten

- The company is growing very fast. As a result, onboarding was a bit rocky, I didn't get my working laptop until a week / 10 days after my first day. Minor annoyance, but that's part of growth, I understand it.

Thanks so much for leaving a review! Glad to hear you've been enjoying life at GitLab so far. Your example of asynchronous work is great -- one of the many reasons to embrace remote work. We're sorry to hear about your laptop delay, but appreciate your understanding. Our IT Ops team is actively iterating on this process to better serve the many new team members joining us around the globe. Welcome to the team!

Fast paced environment and high expectations, but that's part of working at a successful, growing company.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
