      Remote work with poor leadership and cultish vibes

      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      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.

      Good compensation and Transparent

      Security engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good compensation compared to competitors - Async mode of work - Transparent - Family and Friends day

      Cons

      - Very slow at personal growth. One might stick to their role for years - Work done through it the year vs appraisal does not match. High expectations. - Work-life balance may not work equally for everyone at Gitlab.

      GitLab is Amazing

      Security engineer
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The transparency at GitLab is shocking. I have never experienced something like this with former employers. I knew more about the workings of the company before I started than with any other company. Also the embodiment of of GitLab's values is prevalent and apparent among most everyone.

      Cons

      I spend more time searching written documentation than at other companies, but I think it's a good thing in a way.
