We've recently migrated to them from github + jira + self-hosted jenkins + self-hosted private npm. Do you have a specific gripe? We definitely have fewer issues with them than those other services combined.

#7I applied for an Engineering role at Gitlab. I didn't make it past the initial interview screening and politely asked for feedback in order to grow professionally.
I never heard back from the recruiter or company after that yet their handbook says:
"If the candidate asks for further feedback, only offer frank feedback. This is hard, but it is part of our company values."
I always wondered if it was because I questioned the policy of paying people differently based on their location (more specifically, some algorithm's idea of the rent in their area) rather than the work they do.

My guess would be that it's very easy to write down a value, but much harder to actually practice that value consistently.

Interesting, there was a moment maybe a year and a half ago where I wanted to work for Gitlab, but upon learning precisely this I changed my mind. Not necessarily just that pay was location based, but reading through the Global Compensation page just felt very...I dunno, cold and dispassionate?
There's probably a better way to phrase the sensation, because I'm certain this wasn't their intent, but the right descriptor eludes me presently.

I've found their documentation to be pretty good. Especially compared to bitbucket, which I found to be unacceptably poor.
