Pros

Unlimited PTO, asynchronous work culture, and a mandate to prioritize your happiness and balance your work with your day to day life. A culture which promotes thanking others and recognizing and rewarding people based on their work. What more can I say about GitLab? This company is amazing to work for and has been a dream job for me!

Cons

We have employees all over the world, so you need to be able to work across time zones or be good at working asynchronously with colleagues who may be across the world from you.

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.
