      Pros

      I have worked a bunch of different places, but GitLab has to be my favorite so far. The culture permeates the organization. Everything is done remotely and asynchronously so I don't feel pressure to keep my seat warm and there is no commute. I am actually encouraged to take time off. Also, the benefits cost less than what my health insurance alone cost at my old job. All in all, I hope to make a long career out of working at GitLab.

      Cons

      You need to be self-motivated and be able to find a place to focus to work remotely. Not really a con, but something for potential employees to consider. Also, you may be able to get paid more elsewhere, but the benefits of working remote are worth their weight in gold.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Great advice about the need to be a "manager of one" to be successful in an all-remote environment. Here's a guide in the all-remote section of the GitLab Handbook with other tips that might be helpful for potential candidates: https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/getting-started

      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.
