Friendly recruiter, interesting questions, did not feel stressed out, it was easy to talk to the recruiter. I had an interview with the hiring manager, which was not as easy as the initial interview. The overall experience was very positive.

I started with an initial interview then was moved along to other team members. All was going very well and I was moved along to a third interview. While attempting to connect to the third interview, the link that I was provided didn't work and I didn't have the contact information for the person I was interviewing with. I reached out using all platforms I knew to those I've made connection with already in the company. I heard back from someone on the People Ops team apologizing and confirming I will hear back from the recruiter to reschedule the interview. Two days later, I get a generic rejection email saying the position was filled when I was still going through the interview process! I wrote them back stating my confusion and asked them to please let me know what happened and why my interview was never rescheduled. I never heard back from any of them - ghosted. I read through GitLab's entire handbook several times and this is exactly the kind of behavior they don't want to have in their company. It was very disappointing the way I was treated. I really think they're a great company and have huge potential, it's a shame their policies don't seem to be holding up much from an outsiders perspective. It seems like the People Ops team may need some additional help keeping organized. I'm still up for the challenge if you could use someone who would roll up their sleeves and ensure this kind of representation doesn't happen again. Either way, I wish the company the best of luck and I hope this review is helpful.
