      Pros

      Overall I really enjoyed most of my time at GitLab, as I had worked there for 5 years before the leaving. It was only in the last few months the cracks started show. - Remote work - Unlimited PTO (this got a bit more strict as time went on) - Good pay for UK + RSUs - Good pension - Average UK parental leave - 16 weeks paid

      Cons

      - New CEO has taken GitLab from a fantastic unique company, to just another large American corporation without a soul - Basically all of previous C-suite is gone, and Bill has brought in his old friends

      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.
