Pros

I've been at GitLab for 2 months and their onboarding process is really great. Their handbook is amazing (and updating outdated bits during onboarding was simple too). Even though it's 100% remote I feel connected with my team mates and with people from other departments.

Cons

It's hard to have face-to-face catch up with team members due to timezones

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.
