   Hi, GitLab employee here. Sorry to hear that! This funding should enable us to throw more resources at maturing some of our features (e.g. we tripled our employee count this year). We spun up this product maturity page to make this a little

   Hi, yeah I figured that was the point they were making, I kinda wanted to provide the info (in a round-about way lol) that he specifically is a non-native English speaker, so that's why it comes off as a bit forced-friendly and PR-ish.

   Hi! GitLab employee, thank you for your feedback! I'm going to distribute it to the correct teams, but I wanted to respond to a few points: > when you look at the team list in Gitlab, it shows everyone who has access to the team Thi

   Hi yes! Someone who gets paid to do this here :P just wanted to give some background on my team (not that you asked for it OP, I just like to talk about myself apparently). But yeah my team (of 3 members lol) was spun up primarily because S

   Hi! I'm on Djorde's team, just in case anyone stumbles across this and thinks you're literally talking to a bot (not saying you are OP, just preventative), he is a non-native English speaker but definitely a real person. You&

    Ah sorry to hear that was your take-away, I'm not on support it's just my job to triage feedback [1]. We do have a Slack channel for support managers where I passed along your experience though, so hopefully we can improve! [1] (i

    Hello! GitLab employee, could you elaborate? You should be able to purchase additional minutes without upgrading what tier you're on: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/37081#note_...

    Hello! We haven't been at the capacity employee-wise to have teams dedicated to improve much in these areas, but we tripled our employee count this year and have since spun up a memory team [1] and are able to dedicate more people to p

    Hi! GitLab employee, our plan is to go public by 2020 [1][2]. I trust Sid our CEO to stay transparent about this (worked with him personally, this isn't just blind company loyalty lol), and he does a company-wide AMA very frequently wh

    (GitLab employee) thank you so much for the feedback! We agree that a lot of our features aren't as polished as they seem to be presented, which is why we hope the Maturity page adds more transparency.

    Hi! GitLab employee, since the OP mentioned something from a year ago I thought it might be worth mentioning that we haven't been this size for very long. Around this time last year we were at 300ish employees, but we've almost tr

    As a woman myself, I don't see this as a slippery-slope argument like you're implying. The gender pay gap is very complicated, and IMO not at all the same as a company saying "we want to offer salaries that compete with your

    Not really, my motivation to accept a job at GitLab didn't come from how much I could make relative to everyone else in the company, it came from how I could be doing the same work I was doing for a local company but from home. Salarie
