Pros

I finally found a company that is 100% remote and a company that makes that work really well. I've only been here a couple of months by now, and what I've seen so far is wall-to-wall great. The warmth, helpfulness, and openness I've experienced so far are almost unreal. The culture of GitLab, which is about collaboration and transparency, and a lot of other things, is pure magic. Everyone shares and cares. I'd say the pay is really good as well. I'd recommend anyone to apply for a job here at GitLab.

Cons

As I've said, I've only been here a couple of months and so far I've yet to find anything on the minus side. One thing that is on the plus side, that can be pretty overwhelming if you're not used to it, though, is the transparency. That kind of takes you by surprise sometimes, and you sometimes feel lost as to knowing how to act and what to do. I guess that "downside" will evaporate over time as I learn how to do it the GitLab way. It's more me coming from more closed cultures than GitLab, actually. :)

Advice to Management

Be sure to keep the wonderful GitLab culture and do not get lost in the "Always Be Closing" business that can happen when you're a public company.
