This handbook looks great! However my experience interviewing at Gitlab stands in stark contrast to what is outlined here. Is this a standard/process the company is working on achieving?

If your experience has been different, we'd like to hear what happened and how we can improve. I'm sorry if it has been unpleasant. Feel free to reach out to me (job at gitlab com) or our VP of Scaling Ernst (ernst at gitlab com), who is currently in charge of hiring.

We're always working on improving our hiring practices, which can be different for different positions. Anyone applying to GitLab should have a great experience, independent of the outcome.

I'm sorry that you didn't have a good experience interviewing with us. We recently hired a senior director of people operations https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/db5c01d2af... that will also focus on improving the interviewing process. We're also considering assigning every candidate a guide that they can consult throughout the process. Would that have helped in your case?

Anyway, we know there is a lot we can improve, feel free to reach out anytime to sid at our company domain.
