They are very open, accessible and empowering
They are carrying about people
With few exceptions, it's a low-ego, smart, and not political leadership team that demonstrates a balance driving for results while appreciating the team and trying to avoid burnout.
The transparency and the kindness to everyone in the company.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listening to remote employees when they tell you of issues
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.
Managers and upper management make a point that GitLab is not a democracy and have unlimited privilege to fire or promote employees regardless of real world preformance or processes. Management can't be escalated, criticized or blamed since they are mostly friends and unregulated.
Review from Sales Dept
Leadership always say that GitLab is not a democracy and they make it clear that it's a dictatorship run by management where real world preformance doesn't matter and direct managers have total control over employees' future with many suddenly fired or promoted based on word of mouth only.
business experience, not be afraid of negative feed back about operations, culture on conflicts resoltution, financial plan
