Pros

Great WLB: unlimited PTO, with a mostly relaxed day-to-day. Autonomy: you can decide which projects to execute. There is a mature process.

Cons

Retiring the GitLab values.

Team restructuring and layoffs.

There was a large number of employees unmotivated.

Advice to Management

Bring back the values. Bring back the handbook and async culture. Transparency.
