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.
