I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at GitLab (San Antonio, TX) in Nov 2019
Interview
Began with a technical assessment. Next, an initial screening with a recruiter. After the initial screen, the technical interview was conducted. This was a panel interview with 2 interviewers. The technical interview involves live break fixes as well as example ticket responses.
Following the technical interview, a behavioral interview was completed. This was a panel interview with members of the team applying for. Felt more like business casual conversation mixed in with a few interview appropriate questions.
After all above interviews were completed, a final interview with the director of the department was scheduled.

It was great. The process had multiple stages and took a while, as they are genuinely focused on finding the best talent that truly matches their unique team atmosphere and culture.
It started with a fair first assessment, followed by a recruiter call, and concluded with a technical interview that involved troubleshooting scenarios. The interviewers for this round are team members.
