Vantaggi
Learned a lot during my time at Doostang. Got a lot of hands on experience and got to what I always had dreamed for. I'd say this was my door way to my dream job.
Svantaggi
Pay rate wasn't that great since I was on contract position 1099-MISC, but learned a lot.
Vantaggi
If you are an Entry Level person graduating from college, been out of the work force for a period of time or your profession / career is the typical (admin, HR, General office) then they probably will do well for you. If your career field is specialized (medical, Bio, Sciences etc.) do not waste your money.
Svantaggi
They state they employ writers for all industries, do not believe it. In my opinion they are more interested in getting your money than your satisfaction. I have saved emails from them directly related to this. Also they will outsource your resume rewrite.
Vantaggi
Lazy distracted management too preoccupied with personal problems to thoroughly track employees' work ethic. Allows unmotivated employees to slack off. Allows for work life balance because work can always be pushed off due to lack of deadlines.
Svantaggi
Work itself is redundant, archaic, manual, and soul sucking. Equivalent to scraping the internet for job posts, but their technology is too outdated to do so, thus similar work is done manually. Minimal compensation, no opportunity for personal growth because of mismanaged upper management and superiors. Disheartening and disappointing lackluster management attempts to reorganize. Top heavy hierarchal management stifles ingenuity and innovation. No aggressiveness to increase market share as a company,no training program or career advancement road mapping, high attrition has lead me to have 3 managers in my 2 years with the company. Extremely negative workplace especially because product produced actively seeks to actively scam its consumers. (Search "Doostang is a scam", it will autofill in the drop down menu as the most popular search term). Management is focused on enticing subscribers with poor quality useless job postings, and inflates metrics and mottos with quantity of jobs offered on site with complete disregard to quality. Complaints by consumers ignored completely, no sense of improvement or direction for company future. No value given to long term employees with valuable industry knowledge. Tenured employees' opinions are inconsequential to decision making within. Internal processes are rarely followed, have seen active complaints from other companies threatening Doostang because there were posted jobs on other company's behalf.
