      Great Company with Results-Driven Mentality - Anonymous employee GitLab Employee Review

      Pros

      Colleagues and leadership are helpful from the start. Onboarding is very specific, therefore less likely to get stuck. Remote working = flexibility to do more of what is important to you. Employees are eager to get to know you.

      Cons

      Remote working can be an adjustment - meaning it's easy to work through lunch and easier to caught up in a task.

      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.
