Good culture and interesting product, but leadership churn is high - Staff Frontend Engineer bei GitLab: Mitarbeiterbewertung

I've been here for just under a year and genuinely love everyone I work with. People care about what they do, they're sharp, and they're motivated. I've been around long enough to know the grass isn't always greener — the market is unpredictable and no company is perfect. I'm really happy with my leadership team and the individual contributors I get to work with.

We're still working through our AI strategy, but outside of that, our playbooks are well established in regards to managing customer accounts (expansion/upsell sales motion). I am a minority. We can work on hiring more minorities and being more diverse.

OK pay or benefits in the market. Fully remote. Still is trying to frame itself as a big player.

Leadership went from being collaborative, communicative, and transparent, to being mercurial, secretive, and out of touch with the actual work. OBSESSSES over your AI usage metrics - even if AI doesn't help you and slows you down. The current layoff in progress was communicated poorly and not planned at all. And now they want us to adore the leaders and the company? Cultish vibes. We went from a company that plans ahead to a company that reacts.
