Pros & Cons
Doctolib
- Mission-driven colleagues who genuinely care about improving healthcare access
- Strong growth opportunities with flexible remote policy and decent benefits
- Management can be heavy-handed — uses company principles as weapons against feedback
- French-centric culture makes it harder for non-French speakers to advance
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
Doctolib
Genuine social mission (digitizing healthcare access for millions) with a fast-shipping culture, but at 3,500 people reviews cite organizational change fatigue and management inconsistency.
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.
