GitLab

GitLab is an open core company which develops software for the software development lifecycle used by more than 100,000 organizations, 30 million estimated registered users, and has an active community of more than 3000 contributors. GitLab openly shares more information than most companies and is public by default, meaning that their projects, strategy, direction and metrics are discussed openly and can be found within their website. GitLab's values are Collaboration, Results, Efficiency, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging, Iteration, and Transparency (CREDIT) and these form Gitlab's culture.

GitLab's team handbook, if printed would be over 5,000 pages of text, is the central repository for how Gitlab operates and is a foundational piece to the GitLab values. It is a great resource that is read, used and shared by many others outside of GitLab.

GitLab believes in a world where everyone can contribute. Their mission is to change all creative work from read-only to read-write. When everyone can contribute, consumers become contributors and the rate of human progress increases greatly.
