Pluspunten

I love how clear the vision of GitLab is to be a best-in-breed Open Source player in the market. GitLab continuously makes it clear that the community is able to co-create GitLab and that we should, not only care, but treasure those that want to contribute. I've worked in many open source companies before, but this is the first where I see the open source ethos values being carried out in all departments. I also love that there are so many good-hearted people, including management, that genuinely want to do the right thing.

Minpunten

In the first couple months it felt a bit like chaos theory. There is just so much that it is overwhelming and even feels unmanageable. Given that it is remote, doesn't make this much easier, but this is only a very minimal con - and not much that I see that can be done about that. This is the cost of being extremely transparent, but I would never advice to be less transparent - so keep it up

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
