Comment on How do we make remote meetings not suck? (2018)

Is working with GitLab as nice as it sounds? Every time I read the employee documentation I get the feeling working there would be a great experience.

If you can be a manager of one [1], then absolutely, yes. If not, then I can imagine it being really frustrating a lot of times.

Based on my past work experience, working at GitLab is more similar to being a freelancer in terms of freedom and flexibility - with all the benefits of being an employee (professional community, job security, etc.) too.

Doesn’t Gitlab blatantly discriminate in salaries?

I don't really know what you mean by that. Yes, the salaries are tied to locations [1]. But I get compensated well above the average compared to doing the same job at other companies (including international ones) in my country (Austria).

It seems ridiculous to ask this question without clarifying what sort of discrimination you are asking (implying) about.
