The leaders define the direction. They work on the pool and define the milestones. We do work on large features, but these are split up into tasks. Our release priorities are published in our [Direction document in the Handbook](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/), and everyone on the team can see the current milestones we’re tracking against.
 
We do have some things which are high priority and which must be worked on first, such as security issues and priority features. After that, it’s a matter of what you want to work on yourself. This process of selecting issues and prioritization is outlined in our GitLab Handbook, under [GitLab Workflow](/handbook/#gitlab-workflow). For example, “Assign an issue to yourself as soon as you start to work on it, but not before that time.” If an issue is assigned to someone, someone is working on it. If it’s not assigned to someone, no one is working on it. If it’s assigned to a milestone, there’s commitment to work on it. This also makes it easier for everyone on the team to collaborate. Having a manager to bring this distributed effort to release is very important.

GitLab has a powerful issue tracker that completely integrates into the GitLab workflow. Our team uses our issue tracker for almost everything, including projects that contain no code. We believe that if anything is significant enough to work on then [it deserves an issue](/handbook/#gitlab-workflow). Before GitLab 8.7, there was no way to communicate that you needed a specific issue to be completed by a specified time. While we had the ability to add milestones to issues and merge requests, there was no way to say "I am working on X and I need to have it completed by Y date." So in GitLab 8.7 we added the ability to set due dates on an issue.

At GitLab, we believe that the speed of innovation for our organization and product is constrained by the total complexity we've added so far. Creating [boring solutions](/handbook/#boring-solutions) and simplifying our product to its absolute minimum allows us to ship faster and make iterations based on real user feedback. With this in mind, our team began determining basic principles that would help guide us during the creation process of the new Issue Board feature.

One of the most impressive part of the GitLab culture is it's efficiency. Although it is listed as a value, I did not expect it to be so pronuounced. Monthly releases for GitLab CE and EE is just the tip of the iceberg of how much this team can accomplish in a short amount of time. I was amazed at how everything was ready for me before my first day of work. My GitLab email, my slack account, my swag codes and many onboarding items were all setup a few days after I signed my offer letter. I even had my business cards before I started my first day and got to hand them out to my coworkers before I left my previous company!
 
The efficiency of the team paired with the fact that everyone is so talented at what they do, truly creates an incredibly productive environment. I cannot agree more with [general guideline #1](/handbook/#general-guidelines):

As of a few weeks ago, I've started to block off my lunch time on my calendar. I tend not to prioritize what I need to do until it is on my schedule, so this helps me discipline my time. This may not work for everyone, it definitely keeps me in check.

## Team calls
 
Almost every day we have a [team call](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/#team-call), not just for company updates but to take it in turns filling in the rest of the team about what we’ve been up to that weekend. I’ve been given a tour of team members’ new houses, admired their Christmas decorations, squealed when their pets and kids make an appearance and watched them preparing dinner – glimpses into the personal lives of my colleagues that I’ve never had in any office job. I’ve worked at companies where I didn’t know the names of anyone who worked on a different floor. "There are no floors at GitLab," Douwe said to me on a call, and it's true both literally and metaphorically. Because you’ve chatted with everyone on team calls, everyone feels approachable.

## Stage Your Interview Spot
 
It’s nice to be in a neutral environment that is a quiet and comfortable for you. That way neither you nor the interviewer gets too distracted by your environment. We encourage you to display your [quirkiness](/handbook/#values) and personality, but for the interview it's best to avoid chaos. For example, we wouldn't suggest taking your interview call in a loud crowded cafe, in a car, or from your bed! These examples may sound extreme, but we have seen it all.

After you've mastered these tips, it's important to remember that much of the traditional interviewing advice still applies; we encourage you to prepare for a virtual interview the same way you would for an in-person interview. Just because you are taking a call from home doesn’t make it the same as a casual call. Dress appropriately, do your research, and prepare good questions.
