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

- GitLab is a remote worker's dream - Their values are great and a much more than a sign painted on a wall. We mean them and we adhere to them every day no-matter your level or status. - You're treated with respect and everyone has a voice - The directors and higher level staff are the most approachable I've seen at any company - I get to work on a product I love - I get to meet and work with people from all over the world. Sometimes in person. Sometimes in wonderful locations.

Cons

- The growth here is amazing, but can be a little overwhelming at times. - Working this remotely can be hard for some people. There can be a steep learning curve if you're new to it. - Depending on your location, the pay isn't always amazing, but it is fair.
