Process
The interview process is an enjoyable 6 rounds of interview. The first few rounds are behavioral, where both sides get to understand the role, skills, and technical needs, the people, and team culture, which includes HR, hiring manager, and colleagues. Sales. The whole interview process is online, Gitlab being a remote company. The feedback for every round of interview is a quick turnaround. The 5th round is a technical demo, but the process is an excellent process as it focused on how you solve the problem and articulate the technical storytelling, and how fast you are able to learn and adapt and collaborate. All through the weeks, the recruiting is extremely engaging and open to questions and feedback you may have throughout the process.
I had an enjoyable 6 weeks going through the process!

GitLab Work Experiences
- 4.0Good company, solid cultureSolutions Architect • Current EmployeeNovember 8, 2025Pros: Solid and powerful product, friendly collaborative team members, and overall a pretty good work culture that allows for a healthy work-home life balance.Cons: Sales motion can be challenging, and some internal company turbulence as GitLab matures as a company and goes through some growing pains.
- 5.0Wonderful People, Many ChangesSolutions Architect • Former EmployeeApril 14, 2025Pros: A great place to work, surrounded by wonderful people.Cons: There have been a lot of changes recently.
- 5.0Work-life balance is the golden handcuffsSolutions Architect • Current EmployeeAugust 2, 2023Pros: Completely async organization. You work when you need to. Results are the only thing that matter. I truly believe it is as close as it will get to a meritocratic organization. Focus Fridays with no meetings pretty much means it's a 4-day work week. I'd say probably closer to a 4.5-day work week. Unlimited PTO without question. Within my first year, I took 2.5 months off, and my manager told me to take more.Cons: If you're not from a developer background or not technical generally, you have a super rough time onboarding and getting up to speed. Async work styles benefit some individuals more than others.
