People working at GitLab, how is the company doing at the moment? (infosec.pub)

I saw a position I could be interested in at GitLab (security engineer).

I've had a look at Glassdoor, feedback seems to be mixed lately, especially with the new CEO.

Also it seems like there aren't yearly meetup events anymore. I don't usually care about those per se, but it's still an indicator that a company is cutting costs.

For what it's worth, the stock is also on a downward trend. I'm also currently at a private company so I'm not sure how being in a publicly traded company impacts the work environment.

The main concern is obviously how good the company is doing following Microsoft investments in GitHub.

Some comparisons between the two like these ones don't seem to really show a clear winner: https://www.gartner.com/reviews/market/devops-platforms/compare/product/github-vs-gitlab-2088161663

I had a quick look at some threads like this one ( https://old.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/1i6os5n/its_2025_can_someone_explain_simply_why_some/ ), both GitLab and GitHub seem to still be good options.

GitLab used to be the only one you could self host, but that's not the case anymore, GitHub Enterprise can be self hosted.

GitLab used to also have better CI/CD, but GitHub actions now seem similar.

The likelihood of any GitLab employee seeing this post is quite low, but still: How is GitLab as an employer at the moment? Is the future looking good or rather grim?

Wow, thank you so much, that's very informative!

Sorry to hear about this, hopefully the micromanaging will stop at some point.
