Pros & Cons
Abridge
- Meaningful mission transforming healthcare — 93% of employees recommend working here
- Exceptional management and blameless culture with strong career growth opportunities
- Fast-paced environment with intense weeks during major product pushes
- Hybrid co-location expected at SF or NYC hubs; not fully remote
GitLab
- Best-in-class all-remote culture — truly async-first with genuine flexibility
- Radically transparent company with a public handbook and open processes
- Revenue organization has seen quota chaos and low morale
- Some leadership instability at the C-suite level
Bottom Line
Abridge
Abridge — check Glassdoor for detailed reviews.
GitLab
Choose GitLab if you want the gold standard of all-remote work with public handbook and async processes — but expect bureaucracy at scale and comp below top-tier.
