Pros
I had my doubts before joining GitLab, about the culture and the values for they seemed all too good to be true. I've been here for 2 months now, and I can confirm that it's all true. More reasons to work for GitLab are: - The amazing culture makes you feel welcomed and fitting in. - The values are not just there for bragging, everyone does live by them. - You get to work with some of the smartest, nicest and most helpful people you can ever meet. - The flexibility to plan your day to how it suits you best. - They don't measure hours, they measure results. - The "no ask, must tell" paid time off policy. - Everyone can contribute! It's great to feel that you are listened and have the power to make changes from day. - The level of "Transparency" is just amazing. I may say this is my favorite value of all.
Cons
Coming from a typical office job, it takes some time to get used to the all-remote and async communication model. All-remote is not for everyone! and async communication - in addition to causing some delays - can sometimes result in feeling disconnected.
