The company has zero diversity. Women rarely speak up, rarely get promoted, and as you can see on the team page, rarely make it to the top. Women have left after being harassed by their managers, and no one has done anything about it.

Fast growth is causing a culture shift and competitiveness is becoming the norm. This isn't the GitLab it was years ago.

GitLab Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
Pretty straightforward interview, which is on their handbook. Initial screening, then reviewing a merge request. Technical was with the hiring manager, which is a mix of technical and behavioral. Practice more STAR format questions for this stage.
Software Engineer
It wasn’t a great process; lack of coordination. Sets up interviews without knowing the role has been filled or not. The interview was cancelled a few minutes before the actual call.

Technical coding exercise and also culture fit questions, as to be expected in an interview. Clear instructions and good people to interview. I would recommend to anyone thinking of applying. Words words words
