The culture of our organisation is determined by:
Our mission that everyone can contribute mean that our team members can — and are expected to — make an impact across the organisation.
We learn from each other, challenge each other, and thank each other.
Come prepared to do meaningful work that will help shape the future of the organisation.
While the opportunities to contribute are boundless in a growing organisation, they may not be clearly defined. You'll need to think creatively, speak up to see how you can help, and be willing to try something new.
Our value of iteration has a unique impact on the way we operate and get things done.
Working this way means our team members are expected to quickly deliver the minimum viable change in their work instead of waiting to produce a polished, completed product.
While this can be a challenging practice to adopt at first, it's liberating to be able to make mistakes, get feedback quickly, and course correct to reach a better outcome, faster.
At a member of our online-only organisation, and being a part of our team offers unique advantages beyond the requisite flexibility you'll find in many organisations.
As a team member, you can work from anywhere with good internet. Whether you’re an adventurer looking to travel the world while still pursuing your career, a parent or caregiver who wants a job that allows you to spend more time with family, or somewhere in between, you'll have the freedom to contribute when and where you do your best work.
But there's more to our online-only culture than the daily flexibility it provides. By nature, having no offices or headquarters makes us more inclusive, more transparent, and more efficient in everything we do.
Despite all of its benefits for team members, our organisation, and the world, remote work isn't for everyone. GitLab defined the principles of online-all work in their Remote Manifesto. The principles are:
Hiring and working from all over the world instead of from a central location.
Flexible working hours over set working hours.
Writing down and recording knowledge over verbal explanations.
Written down processes over on-the-job training.
Public sharing of information over need-to-know access.
Opening up every document for editing by anyone over top-down control of documents.
Asynchronous communication over synchronous communication.
The results of work over the hours put in.
Formal communication channels over informal communication channels.
