Pros

Unlimited PTO. Decent comp on hire.

Cons

Csuite execs aren’t the best leaders, removed from what their teams need or who is actually contributing in an effective way. I had a severe micromanager who also was very absent and changed their mind constantly. No opportunity for growth in this job category. Promotions are not equitable or standard. No one is ensuring EBAs are measured against the same standards. Severe favoritism. Get ready to get “handbooked” and told to do things the “GitLab way”… Hope you enjoy spending your day taking verbatim notes for calls as well, complete waste of time.

Pros

Great work-life balance, meaningful opportunities for career progression, great people

Cons

The new c-suite is clueless and the company has no mission. They seem to think that if they just talk about AI all day then the money will flow in. The product needs to prioritize quality, but leadership only cares about increasing output and has established silly target metrics like "500 MRs per engineer per month". They fail to see that more code is not what will win the market.
