They are not high performing. They are a mediocre company, not a leader or an innovator and they pay shit wages (60k/pa).
If you think top 1% of companies is mediocre then yes. Any company that makes is to their size is way beyond mediocre.
GitLab? Top 1%? Of what?
Companies in the world. Very few make it to GitLab's size.
Yeah. I’m not some spoiled Silicon Valley tech bro. I don’t even live in the US. I’ve never been given a single RSU in my life. But I was genuinely shocked when I saw GitLab’s compensation.
The company that uses remote work to pay salaries less than what a store manager at Arby’s makes?
Agree. Their salary offers were awful the last time I looked.
They did IPO in 2021 - I wonder if the equity comp makes up for it?
can they even be considered "high performing"?
Feels like they were ahead around 2018 but just lost all that advantage to GitHub.
