Very negative. The handbook is just suggestions with no real processes. The culture is festering with favoritism and discrimination. Changes are done haphazardly with no one really understanding what's happening.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Very haphazard with no clear direction, feedback or next steps. There are no processes in place and managers hiring basically who they like most.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Benefits are non existent apart from what the country of residence of the employee enforce and some very basic app subscriptions and average salary for the specific job.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The culture differs greatly between individuals and teams as it heavily depends on the location and the manager of the employee. It's an extreme divide between extremely happy employees and victims silenced by NDAs.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Customers and outsiders view gitlab as a try hard with over exaggerated product and culture. Now that I know the truth I support that view. Management and executives need a complete overhaul or this company will sink
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The culture is the definition of toxic positivity and corporate brain washing. Meeting are not obligatory but "encouraged" with managers blaming employees for not attending. Discrimination and passive aggression is rampant as long as the language used is PC and sounds flowery.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The worst leadership I ever encountered. They enforce that gitlab is not a democracy. Managers have total control over employees and promote and fire people based on what they feel regardless of performance. The entire management and executive teams are friends and don't abide by any rules.
