Decent comoany - Backend Engineer GitLab Employee Review

GitLab team members are the best of the best. Collaboration is part of GitLabs core values and I saw that from the very beginning. I love being part of such an exciting company, one that offers growth, challenges, and amazing Leadership!

None! Its just an awesome place to be!

•Fully remote work with a high degree of flexibility. •The product itself is strong and receives good feedback from customers, which makes the internal challenges harder to watch. •The people you work with day-to-day are genuinely impressive, smart, thoughtful, and kind. There is a lot of real talent here.

•Leadership instability is a serious issue. There has been significant C-level turnover, making it hard to feel confident in long-term vision or execution. •It’s concerning when new executives are not deeply familiar with GitLab’s core values and internal frameworks. Seeing a new CTO unaware of foundational principles… even within their own engineering org. Cmon really? This signals misalignment and weak onboarding at the top. •Leadership hires increasingly feel disconnected from the company culture and how teams actually operate, raising questions about how executives are evaluated and integrated. •Management direction often feels inconsistent and reactive rather than intentional. •New leaders are not always set up for success, and that directly impacts teams and morale.
