We touch on very practical topics related to managing more than 1300 people that work across +65 countries, all-remote:

- Hiring

- Productivity & Autonomy

- Performance Management

- Total Rewards

- Values

- Transparency

- Leadership Development (CEO Shadow Program)

We, of course, also touch on the GitLab Handbook. Here is a link to it for anyone interested in a deep dive on the above topics: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/
