      Getting hired here was the best, random thing that's ever happened to me

      Pros

      - 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.

      Cons

      - 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.

      Org lacks self-awareness, comes off hypocritical

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Remote-first company, solid company retreat perk and home office perks, decent amount of PTO offered, relatively small team so you can easily get to know your colleagues if you choose to. Offers especially competitive salaries if you're residing outside of the U.S. Great place to work at if you are able to simply clock in and clock out, without getting too involved in the internal happenings.

      Cons

      The org makes bold claims about how open-minded, progressive and positive their work culture is. However, there are several systemic issues that are being willfully ignored by upper management related to diversity (a majority of the company consists of white european heterosexual men), fair and transparent compensation (some employees are grandfathered into higher salaries than newcomers, this results in large pay gaps between employees with similar roles), a lack of well documented and thorough policies and procedures in the case of harassment, bullying, offensive or discriminatory language, among a plethora of other issues they like to pretend don't exist. Also, the company is legally based out of California so they require that their global employees sign U.S 1099 independent employment contracts, which are notorious for not providing legal protections for its workers in case of wrongful termination, severance, etc. This means they can (and do) get away with almost any labor related malpractice, because each employee's local country laws do not apply to them, even if the individual is paying taxes to the country they reside in.

      Growing at Doist, personally & professionally

      Business outlook

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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.
