Pros

GitLab's values are not just marketing hype. Everyone at the company lives them every day. Transparency and Inclusion are two of my favorites, but each of the company's values serve to make the entirely remote and globally distributed team more efficient, empowered, and successful.

Cons

The competitive landscape is rapidly changing and it can feel like GitLab is trying to fight multiple battles on multiple fronts, slowing down progress on other core areas.

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.
