Join us on August 18th and get your questions answered by Care.com's CTO on the future of work. 

We’re co-hosting a Live Q&A with Ryan Safarian, CTO at Care.com. Ryan will discuss how he’s transitioning his team from 100% remote work to a hybrid model. 

In 2020, engineering teams were forced to become 100% remote. Daily standups took place in video calls and tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams saw higher use.  

According to the “State of Engineering Leadership 2021,” a report produced by Plato and Lohika, “While companies with distributed teams gained an upper hand in management, smaller teams tasted the bitterness of prioritization, alignment, Zoom fatigue, and a company culture that was constantly shifting beneath their feet.”  

At the same time, some teams welcomed the 100% remote model and reported increased productivity. As we consider a hybrid model that includes a partial return to the office, what practices from last year will continue? In other words, what will stay and what will go?

We highly value transparency at GitLab as it fosters efficiency, knowledge-sharing, trust, and buy-in with employees, customers, and the general public.  This includes making things like our company handbook, product direction, agile processes and details, etc, open to the public.  This (extreme) transparency creates some risks, which we mitigate in various ways.
