For sure we think we're punching above our weight. We're less than 100 people and are competing with multi-billion dollar companies likes GitHub.
Some other benefits of our open core model:
1. Remote only is the default way of working, allowing us to hire great people around the world.
2. Our open core model attracts great people, it is rare to have no recruiting problem for engineering.
3. Our technical interview is adding a feature to GitLab, ensuring we test exactly the skills we need when you join.

- agibsonccc 10y agoWe get referrals for other roles. But yeah: that's more or less on purpose.
