Pros

Everything is remote at GitLab and you are a manager of one, so you are trusted to assess your priority properly and organise your days accordingly. Flexible working hours and family first culture. Indefinite leave policy as long as you achieve your objectives. Working longer hours doesn't mean good results.

Cons

It can be a little isolating to be always home, but Gitlab allows you also to rent a shared working space to socialise.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

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.
