Vantaggi

None that I experienced during my time there

Svantaggi

- Poor compensation for freelancers despite wasting money on expensive company retreats - No equipment provided (expected to use personal laptop) - "Async" culture is misleading - daily barrage of hundreds of notifications and chat messages - Unresponsive team with poor communication - Management lacks awareness of ongoing projects and team needs - Broken promises regarding internal hiring and career progression - Unprofessional offboarding process - promised follow-up never materialized (though not surprised seeing how disorganized the HR team is) - Very questionable hiring decisions

Thank you for adding a review. We are really sad to see that you didn't have a positive experience, we aim for every Doister and everyone we engage with, to have a great experience in our remote and distributed environment. Our asyncronous environment has been created to allow for non-linear work days and we never require any type of instant responses, but appreciate all your feedback on how you experienced this. For freelancing roles, we usually do not supply equipment but supply a $3000 - $5000 perk to allow for equipment as well as welcome perk for equipment of an additional $600, for all fulltime opportunities. Please don't hesitate to schedule a call directly with the Head of People, Nadia, via her email address, we always welcome a constructive conversation. Wishing you the absolute best in the next steps of your career.

Vantaggi

I don't think any other company would have given me the chance to grow so much both personally and professionally as Doist has. Five years ago, I started working with Amir on a freelance basis and, as the business grew, I began taking on more and more tasks until becoming a full-time employee and eventually the Head of Marketing. During this time, I got married, moved countries/continents, cared for a sick parent, and had my first child. Despite all these challenges, the flexibility and support at Doist has allowed me to continue grow professionally at my own pace while also living through these important personal milestones. I'm eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of such a forward-thinking team.

Svantaggi

As a fully remote team, I don't get to see my teammates as often as I would love to. The Doist family is a truly amazing group of people.

Vantaggi

- Completely flexible schedule – you don't have to keep your butt in the chair from 9-5pm whether you're being productive or not. Work the hours that are best for you. - Work from anywhere. - No managers looking over your shoulder supervising you. You can take on projects you're excited about and see them through to the end. - A team of really good and interesting people from all over the world who are respectful and want to do good work. Not a bro-culture at all. The company has given a significant amount to charity the last 3 years. - Extremely transparent about decisions, financial health, etc. - Committed to sustainable growth - not just chasing VC funding - so you're not left wondering if your job will still be there in a year. - Annual team retreats in places like Menorca, Iceland, Greece, and Chile.

Svantaggi

- Since it's a small, growing company there's no defined career or professional development path. You really have to be proactive about defining what you want to do and where you want to go. Can be a pro and a con. - Since it's a remote company not based in the US, there's currently no health or retirement benefits which is a bummer. They do pay well, but if you need a lot of healthcare it probably doesn't make up for the lack of health insurance.
