Good place to work, though experience varies greatly according to team
A fully remote company which knows how to operate well as such.
Some PMs and directors are not technical, and some EMs and directors operate as passthrough managers with little vision or ability to foster culture.

GitLab Interview Experiences
Staff Engineer
A recruiter reached out and asked if I'd be interested in a role. After a few back-and-forth emails, I sent a resume and was sent some questions to answer. I answered the questions and a couple of days later received an offer to start the interview
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.
Frontend Developer
The interview began with an HR round where I was asked about my previous experiences, my motivation for joining GitLab, and an example of a time when I demonstrated creativity in solving a problem.
