Heres another link on this same topic, their commitment to “transparency by default” https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/security/transparency-b... Honestly it’s really admirable and I have nothing bad to say about them.
There are multiple issues with GitLab as a company. They pay their staff based on location and not the output of their work which is in direct contradiction of their values of "Results" and "Diversity, Inclusivity and Belonging".
And how the location factors are decided is not shared with the staff, just vague hand waving of industry averages. This again is again in contradiction with their "transparency" value.
I can point out a lot more things. They might be transparent, but are not above exploiting folks from weaker economies.

The URL is supposed to be https://growrk.com/blogs/news/location-based-pay/, anyone knows why/how was it truncated?

wonder if they're pricing is adjusted for local rates?
No. Their prices are not adjusted for local market rates because their reasons only make sense when paying their employees.
It's amazing to see how all our resources have been put together to create such an exhaustive reflection of our culture & values. Thank you for doing that GarethX.
