      Good remote work culture - Senior Frontend Engineer GitLab Employee Review

      Pros

      Very open about everything including salary, company handbook, and even product source code. Mostly positive culture.

      Cons

      Has become considerably more bureaucratic as the company has scaled up. Managers focusing on metrics that make the team look good rather than focusing on best decisions for the company or product. Lost focus on writing quality software and eliminating technical debt.

      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.
