My manager is truly willing to help me and to see me succeeding. She is doing everything that makes sense to have me growing fast and feeling comfortable.

My direct manager really lives up the company's values and focus on our mental health and also personal growth. I feel alive because they show a genuine care, and not transactional relation.

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.

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.

GitLab well underpays compared to the tech benchmark. GitLab should do away with the location factor and bring pay up to industry standard.

They need to do a salary review ASAP. People leave because of money. GitLab is a great company to work in terms of diversity, equality and transparency, the hiring process is tough and it's also hard to be selected among worldwide candidates, they really need to do something to keep their employees.

Great at sharing knowledge, lots of smart and empathetic people. Sadly, the wonderful people are far outweighed by the terrible, inexperienced management and mercurial managers.

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.

Meetings are all branded as optional with many of them being mandatory to attend making the experience frustrating for everyone. Managers chase employees to attend meetings substituting words like "must attend" with "preferable"

Revisión Review del Departamento de Ventas · Publicado hace 4 años

Even though a lot of meetings are mentioned to be optional, you would be casually forced into attending them with management sugar coating words like "obligatory" for words like "encouraged" while carrying the same meaning, making meetings all the more frustrating.

Culture starts at the top. When leadership at the top is toxic, it trickles down. There needs to be ways to keep leadership accountable and responsible for toxic work environments

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.

The culture is the definition of toxic positivity and passive aggression. Everything must be positive, criticism is not allowed, all actions are done to "improve" and objections are frowned upon. It's a very effective brain washing marketing effort.

Revisión Review del Departamento de Ventas · Publicado hace 4 años

The environment is extremely toxically positive to a point where it feels like brain washing. Nothing bad ever happens and criticisms are unwelcomed. Management can get away with any act of aggression or harassment as long as they use the right words and framing for their narrative.

The interaction with my peers. We had time to ask questions on both side. Everybody is aware that this is a win-win process. They wanted to be sure that I fit with Gitlab values, and they knew that I needed to be sure that Gitlab fit with my values. We were both selecting/validating the other one.

Very haphazard with no clear direction, feedback or next steps. There are no processes in place and managers hiring basically who they like most.

The process is haphazard and unclear. As there's no processes set in place and managers hiring basically who they like the most based on no criteria, the interview process can last for months.

Shorter time-frames. Interviewers should always know the next steps

Revisión Review del Departamento de Ingienería · Publicado hace 6 años

The company values asynchronous communication, but the interview process is not asynchronous. Given that they are hiring people who succeed in a synchronous interview, I'm predicting the asynchronous work style will slowly erode with new hires.

GitLab is viewed by outsiders as pretentious and over exaggerating the success and efficacy of their culture and product. After my experience working with them, I agree. The company needs processes in place and for leadership to be changed especially for non technical teams.

Employees are dropping like flies getting fired or resigning with no reporting on it as they are working as contractors and NDAs preventing any legal action against the company. The entire management need to be restructured as people will eventually speak up about it.
