Awesome product! The people part has some challenges
GitLab's DevOps platform is well liked by its customers. The culture is real for the most part. Smart & diligent coworkers.
DevSecOps is, for the most part, just other open source projects integrated into GitLab.
GitLab's obsession to take over the DevOps landscape may ostracize potential partners.
High number of five-star reviews for folks that are in the honeymoon phase. Of course, it's five stars; that's why you joined!
Some slightly toxic mid-level managers. Do your homework before joining!
Planned IPO in November 2020 was pushed off because of Covid. That being said, you'll want to verify that options are worth much, as it's likely close to an exit.
Compensation is okay. GitLab's USP was that it was an all-remote company, and that's why you could take less. With Covid, that USP is a bit less compelling. That said, GitLab knows how to make remote work work.
A big company's hiring obsession could impact its culture.
