Thank you for your comment! We are glad you are enjoying our Doodle culture! We are in the process of redefining our internal talent mobility as to ensure our Doodlers continue to grow and evolve while maintaining work-life balance. In regard to the statement about traveling into work, since the pandemic started we have made the decision that our employees can determine whether they wish to work from the office or from home. We still love our beautiful offices and get together to socialise and celebrate! If you have any ideas that you think could help Doodle grow additionally, you can email us at talent@doodle.com.

Pros

— Cool office in Berlin on the canal, although before the pandemic it was getting quite crowded and busy — HR department genuinely cares about the employees, however they don't have enough clout — Some regular perks of Berlin startups such as Headspace subscription, learning days, Udemy subscription, educational budget, and so on

Cons

I don't even know where to start... — People running the company do not have experience in SaaS and it is painfully obvious — Some of the high level management outsources leadership decisions to people below them which creates a culture where there is a complete lack of accountability — Directors are being hired to cover up for those who are above them, but unfortunately the interview processes are flawed which results in hires that also have no idea what they are doing. In the end there are layers of hierarchy, endless meetings but no results, progress or at least accountability — Huge issues with communication, especially when it comes to product decisions. Why was this decision taken and by whom, based on what data and with what desired outcomes — it's not easy to find answers to these questions at Doodle — Delivery teams are set up for failure because the work is happening in silos and honestly it feels like you are in an echo chamber until you randomly find out another team is working on a solution that will kill you work that you have been working on for months — For a company that's in scheduling business, the meeting culture is the worst I've ever seen; 20 hours a week spent in meetings is a "good" week — No career development plans in some departments & no clear career path is the least bad thing 🙃 I would also strongly advise for people who care for their mental health to stay away from chaos that's Doodle. You deserve better from your employer than telling you to adapt to chaos and find comfort in the uncomfortable, that's just lazy management that does not care for the people's wellbeing.
