Pros

- GitLab is a remote worker's dream - Their values are great and a much more than a sign painted on a wall. We mean them and we adhere to them every day no-matter your level or status. - You're treated with respect and everyone has a voice - The directors and higher level staff are the most approachable I've seen at any company - I get to work on a product I love - I get to meet and work with people from all over the world. Sometimes in person. Sometimes in wonderful locations.

Cons

- The growth here is amazing, but can be a little overwhelming at times. - Working this remotely can be hard for some people. There can be a steep learning curve if you're new to it. - Depending on your location, the pay isn't always amazing, but it is fair.

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.
