Pros
Doodle is a place where creativity is genuinely encouraged and trusted. I am given real ownership over my work, not just in execution but also in shaping the approach and outcomes, which makes the work both meaningful and motivating. It is easy to see the impact of what you do, and that sense of purpose goes a long way. The people are a genuine highlight. Colleagues across teams are kind, thoughtful, and supportive, and there is a real sense that people care about one another as people and not just as coworkers. Leadership has a clear vision and has positioned the company well for long term, sustainable growth. There is a strong sense of direction and momentum, which makes it an exciting place to be. Finally, compensation is honestly very competitive.
Cons
The below is just a fact of life sometimes, but it is a fact that some may struggle with more than others. Rapid growth can occasionally lead to longer days, especially during periods in which teams are scaling to meet new demands. This is a natural part of building a rapidly growing company, and the organization is actively addressing it through continued hiring and investments in better tools and processes. These efforts are already helping to create more sustainable workloads over time, but one should be aware that this is the current reality and take that into account.
