Pros

- People at Doist *really* care about each other. It feels great. Your well-being won't be left out - it's one of the priorities of the company. - You'll work with talented people with an impressive variety of interests, passions and expertise. It's a place where you can grow as a person. - The work is exiting. Doist is thinking about new, better ways to work. And the company itself is the experiment. They try new workflows and processes that'll improve how everyone work together. The remote setting pushes us to think differently. - Doist is inclusive. No matter your gender, skin color, origin, background, you'll feel welcome. They don't judge by where you're from but what you do. - Compensation is generous. You'll also get many benefits like 25 paid vacations, a budget for hardware and software, coworking space and high-speed internet reimbursements, education budget, paid parental leaves, a retreat every year... - Many more!

Cons

- Working remotely can create a feeling of loneliness sometimes. You have to have the right habits to make sure you - I don't many inconveniences really :)

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.

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.
