Pros

You feel welcome by everyone, at every moment. Any question to anyone from the new member to the CEO is always answered with an excellent attitude, you can feel how the entire company is there to help you succeed. You choose your hours, and how you work, so all those small things from your life that used to be not so easy due to office hours are now possible. Gitlab has excellent documentation and it evolves every minute, I was amazed how well line up my on boarding was, it just feels refreshing. Everyone can contribute, the company mission and one I can say, the team really puts their heart into it.

Cons

Not a company con by itself but with a full remote, you need to make adjustments to take a walk, have a break and just go out get some sun o so.

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.
