Well-organized onboarding and excellent company culture
Well-organized onboarding and excellent company culture
Everything is remote at GitLab, and you are a manager of one. You are trusted to assess your priorities properly and organize your days accordingly. Flexible working hours and a "family first" culture are in place. An indefinite leave policy is available, as long as you achieve your objectives. Working longer hours doesn't necessarily mean good results.
It can be a little isolating to be always home, but Gitlab allows you also to rent a shared working space to socialize.
It isn't simple to maintain such a great culture across all departments, especially when people do not meet face to face early in their onboarding. So, I would suggest allocating some budget for face-to-face internal meetings, especially at the beginning.
