Pros

The title of this review says it all. I really cannot wish for a better job: great culture, great colleagues, great product, great compensation. The company really runs like it's described in it's public handbook, no surprises.

Cons

I wish GitLab would have an office which I could visit a couple of days per week to connect with my colleagues. Full-remote works perfectly here, but I miss the personal contacts from time to time.

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.
