I’m an experienced sourced and recruiter, with years of experience in major tech companies. My company is going through layoffs, so I was referred for a role at Gitlab by a friend/employee who thought I would be a great fit. I never got any sort of confirmation email or follow up from anyone whatsoever, except today when I received a generic rejection email... on Christmas Day. What a nice slap in the face. Looks like I dodged a bullet working here. They need a better recruiting team if they reject well qualified referrals... on Christmas. It also goes to show that people here work on Christmas. Yikes.

The interview process was smooth and well structured. The interviewers were very friendly and the candidate experience team were fantastic as they give immediate feedback despite the time differences. I loved the experience even though i did not get an offer.
