GitLab

Decent compensation. That is about the only thing worth mentioning.

Poor, untrustworthy APAC leadership is disconnected from the realities of the market and the developer community at large. What was once a respectable product, the current GitLab leadership, especially the local sales and SA leadership sitting out of Singapore and Australia, have ruined this place. None of them really understand the product or a developer's mind.

The culture has been destroyed by a management that fundamentally comes from a pure sales background, with little regard or appreciation for the technology itself. For any highly technical individual, this place will be a toxic one. It is extremely volatile and a nontransparent organization in general. Decisions happen behind closed doors. There are lots of inter-manager politics. I was literally told to "play the game," which I smiled and politely refused. Life is too short to play games. If possible, skip this place entirely. You will ruin your mental peace for a few extra bucks. It is not worth it. It is a decent-ish product with terrible, incompetent management.

You guys should be selling lingerie and undergarments, not DevSecOps. Do the dev community a favour and please leave.
