I had a strange interaction with one of their sales people a few weeks ago.

We have a free premium open source developer account, plus Red Hat runs all the CentOS infra through gitlab and pays a ton of money to them. I received emails from a salesperson demanding that I book an appointment with them to discuss my account. (It sounded like a meeting which had real this could be done by email energy, or else was going to be a high-pressure sales pitch.)

I asked them which account they were talking about and if we could do this on email, but they literally wouldn't say what account it was related to, and just kept saying I must visit some (non-gitlab) site to book this appointment for a video call.

After several rounds of this and following up with someone who works with gitlab to check it wasn't an actual scam (it wasn't), I just ignored the guy.

Conclusion is they sounded desperate to make the numbers last quarter.

They were, we experienced the same. Told them to go pound sand.
