Pluspunten

GitLab is an absolutely amazing company to work for! I love the flexibility the all-remote organization has. Everyone is super passionate about what they do. Leadership is very approachable and it's an exciting place to be. There are a lot of cool initiatives taking place to push the organization further. I'm so fortunate to work for a company like GitLab and the sky is the limit.

Minpunten

Only two cons that are top of mind since I've been here: 1. Tone it down on the wokeness a bit. I'm all for Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging but at times I feel like I can only go so far here since I'm a "white male." I've heard this term more at GitLab than any other job and it's exhausting. It makes me fearful for advancing because of my "identity" and not on "merit." 2. There needs to be some changing internally to how we operate. There's major communication overload and at times it feels to internally focused. What worked when the company was 500 people, doesn't work anymore now that we are 1300. I'd encourage leadership to be open to new ways of working and experiment more. There is a lot of fear of losing the all-remote culture, but GitLab can continue to be an innovator in this space if they try out new things.

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.
