Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

the people care for each other and always try to support each other where they can

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Doodle has changed vision and leadership so often that it lacks direction and it's difficult to remain motivated without clarity and purpose

Verbesserungsvorschläge

bring back the human touch

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Not very safe place to work due to the continous layoff waves. People are often overworked.

Work-Life-Balance

Used to be a human place to work at. Now it's about showing you work on the weekend, that you are always reachable (CEO praises people who reply to emails on weekends during all hands meeting for instance).

Karriere/Weiterbildung

very strict performance reviews and promotions only if the company needs you, not if you achieve goals.

Gehalt/Benefits

I found the salary quite competitive but perhaps this is not true for every role

Kollegenzusammenhalt

People working there are genuinely talented and nice to work with

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

there are none

Arbeitsbedingungen

lots of cuts especially to the benfits offer over the years

Gleichberechtigung

Since the management / leadership change a lot of "friends" of the CEO were hired, all of them in leadership positions. By that I mean, all ex-mckinsey. For many it felt like a scam, you would get the postion because of your connections. This also had the effect of more gender imbalance especially in leadership.

People Ops Team

Thank you for updating your review from 2024. We noticed you’ve shared new reflections on our recent changes, and we want to provide a fresh response that speaks to where Doodle stands today.

It is clear that our transition toward a new vision has created a disconnect for some, and we take your comments on leadership clarity and the 'human touch' very seriously.

We are currently working hard to move away from a culture of 'always-on' urgency toward one of high-impact efficiency. Our goal is for performance to be measured by outcomes (our 3-3-3 metrics). Regarding our leadership and hiring, we are committed to building a diverse, world-class team based strictly on merit and the ability to scale our mission.

We also recognise the 'safety' concerns following recent organisational shifts; our focus now is on providing total transparency so every Doodler knows exactly what is expected and how to succeed here. We appreciate you putting these 'errors on the table' so we can address them directly as we continue to evolve.

2024 Review:
Thank you for sharing your experience working with us at Doodle! We're thrilled to hear that you've found a collaborative and supportive environment where your voice is heard and valued.

We're glad that you appreciate our efforts to continuously improve and involve our team members in the process through surveys and action plans. Your feedback helps us prioritize initiatives that make a real difference in our workplace.

We're also delighted that you feel empowered to own your time and enjoy the autonomy and self-organization that Doodle encourages. "Own your time" reflects our commitment to providing flexibility and trust in our team members.

Regarding your suggestion to hire more people to better handle workload, we appreciate your input. We're always looking for ways to ensure a manageable workload for our team members while maintaining our high standards of quality and service.

Thank you once again for your feedback and for being a valuable member of the Doodle team. We're excited to continue growing and improving together!

Dringender Bedarf an Führungsänderung auf CEO Ebene

Nicht empfohlen
Ex-FreelancerHat bis 2025 bei Doodle AG in Zürich gearbeitet.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Das Produkt hat Potenzial und viele Kolleg:innen sind engagiert und fachlich stark.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Der Führungsstil auf CEO-Ebene wirkt distanziert, wenig wertschätzend und nicht inspirierend. Strategie allein ersetzt keine respektvolle und verbindende Führung.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Strategisch ist eine klare Richtung erkennbar, jedoch fehlt es an einem respektvollen, verbindenden und wertschätzenden Führungsstil. Mehr Empathie, direkte Anerkennung und echte Dialogbereitschaft würden das Vertrauen im Unternehmen deutlich stärken.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Seit dem Führungswechsel ist die Arbeitsatmosphäre von Unsicherheit und spürbarem Vertrauensverlust geprägt.

Image

Das externe Bild des Unternehmens steht zunehmend im Kontrast zur internen Realität.

Work-Life-Balance

Hoher Druck und kurzfristige Prioritätsänderungen wirken sich negativ auf die Work Life Balance aus.

Gehalt/Benefits

Vergütung und Leistungen stehen nicht im angemessenen Verhältnis zu den steigenden Erwartungen und dem zunehmenden Druck.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Der Zusammenhalt im Team wird durch Unsicherheit und ständige Richtungswechsel zunehmend belastet.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Das Verhalten auf Führungsebene wirkt distanziert und wenig inspirierend, sichtbare Wertschätzung fehlt häufig

Arbeitsbedingungen

Fehlende Stabilität in Strategie und Führung erschwert verlässliche Arbeitsbedingungen und klare Prozesse.

Kommunikation

Die Führung wirkt emotional distanziert und wenig zugänglich. Wertschätzung wird selten sichtbar gezeigt, was sich negativ auf Motivation und Identifikation auswirkt.

Gleichberechtigung

Es entsteht der Eindruck, dass nicht alle Mitarbeitenden gleichermaßen wahrgenommen und wertgeschätzt werden.

Interessante Aufgaben

Die Aufgaben sind grundsätzlich interessant, verlieren jedoch durch fehlende strategische Klarheit an Sinnhaftigkeit.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar

People Ops Team

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.

We recognise that periods of profound transformation can create uncertainty. Doodle is currently undergoing significant strategic and structural shifts to ensure our long-term competitiveness in an increasingly demanding market.

Change of this scale, especially under new leadership, introduces higher performance standards and new operational rhythms. While these shifts can feel intense, they are a reflection of the discipline required to scale and reposition a business, rather than a lack of respect or appreciation.

We respectfully disagree with the characterisation of our leadership at an individual level. At Doodle, we believe it is neither fair nor constructive to attribute complex organisational evolution to a single person; our strategic direction is a collective commitment aligned at the Board and Executive level.

That said, we take all feedback regarding internal trust and communication seriously. We are continuously working to strengthen dialogue and transparency to ensure that our high-performing culture remains one of mutual accountability and professional respect. Transformation is rarely comfortable, but it is necessary for sustainable growth.

We value every perspective and continue to encourage open, direct dialogue so that concerns can be addressed constructively within the organisation.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Doodle is a business, and in the end it is about making money. But, it has the people at heart and appreciates them and I feel that this matters to the company. So I'd say the culture in general.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Cannot really say, and I work here since a long time.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Keep working on the product to make ads less intrusive

Arbeitsatmosphäre

The work environment at Doodle is truly exceptional, fostering a culture of collaboration, support, and care.

Work-Life-Balance

Here there would be a lot of positive things to say, but the most remarkable thing was announced internally this week that the company will pilot a 4.5 days wek in summer. This is a company that truly value work-life balance. It's not just about getting the job done, but making sure we all have time to recharge and enjoy life outside of work. It's something it's actively supported and encouraged among the team members.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Here I am not sure what can be done more, but I know Doodle donates to UNHCR

Kollegenzusammenhalt

The people are top-notch! There is such a cool mix of talent, everyone is keen on collaborating with other departments.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

One thing I love about our managers at Doodle is how they trust us with autonomy. They're not breathing down our necks all the time; they give us space to do our thing and really own our projects. It's pretty awesome to feel trusted like that

Kommunikation

I cannot understand other comments on this matter by others, as I witness a culture that prioritizes transparency and openness within the company. We hold regular all-hands meetings where we openly discuss the health of the company, share key metrics and numbers, and provide access to detailed insights through Power BI. These resources are readily available to all employees, allowing for easy verification and understanding of our company's status at any time.

Thank you for your detailed and positive feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you appreciate Doodle’s company culture, work environment, and team spirit. Your recognition of our transparency in communication and our commitment to work-life balance—especially with the introduction of a 4.5-day workweek in the summer (which we will repeat in 2025, yay!)—means a lot to us.

We also take your suggestion regarding ads seriously, and we are continuously working on improving our product to enhance the user experience. If you have any further ideas or feedback, we’d love to hear them.

Thank you for your long-standing dedication and contributions to Doodle!

I am thoroughly disappointed.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

The people working here are fantastic. But the management is not worth the worries, the questions, the uncertainties that poison their good work.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Everything else except the friendly atmosphere and dedicated people.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

The worst thing ever done is faltering to investor demands. Doodle was good the way it is, but maximizing for profit before Doodle catches up to it's competitors is asinine. I am afraid Doodle will restructure until there is nothing left.

People Ops Team

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Doodle. We genuinely appreciate employee and user feedback as it helps us identify areas for improvement and enhance the overall employee and user experience.

Firstly, we want to acknowledge your disappointment with the changes in the product. Our goal has always been to provide a reliable and efficient scheduling platform, and we regret that you feel there has been a decline in quality. It’s essential to note that during this time, we’ve been focused on making Doodle a product that everybody loves. It’s not always been an easy or perfect journey, but one that we are collectively navigating with the help of all the brilliant teams at Doodle. We are very proud to say that we had great achievements in the last two years thanks to their fundamental dedication to Doodle’s success.
Regarding the advertisements on the free version of Doodle, we understand how they might affect the overall user experience. While advertisements play a role in supporting the free version of Doodle, we are committed to finding a balance that ensures users can still enjoy a seamless and enjoyable experience.
As for your suggestion to replace the management, we appreciate your concern for the direction of the platform. We assure you that our executive team is dedicated to making Doodle the best scheduling solution possible. We regularly evaluate our strategies and leadership to ensure that we are on the right path and meeting the needs of our users. However, specific feedback on what aspects of the management or decisions you find problematic would be valuable in helping us make targeted improvements.

To provide you with a more personalised experience, we encourage you to contact our people ops team with specific examples or details about the issues you have encountered. This will allow us to investigate and address your concerns more effectively. You can write to talent@doodle.com.

Once again, thank you for your feedback. We are committed to learning from our employees and users and continuously improving Doodle to meet your scheduling needs and as a workplace as well.
