Pros
DoiT is a strong environment for people who like moving fast, learning constantly, and being held to a high bar. Ignore many of the negative reviews. 90% of them come from people who were not willing or able to keep up with a startup pace and were looking for a comfortable, low effort role. This is not that kind of company.
There is a clear performance culture. Regular reviews, clear expectations, and accountability are real. People who do not perform are put on PIP, which is exactly how it should be. I want to work with high energy, engaged teammates who care about results and are willing to evolve.
From a technical perspective, the stack is strong and modern. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you are not just a services arm. You are close to the product, influence real design decisions, and are encouraged to contribute back to the platform. That level of trust and inclusion is rare and genuinely motivating.
If you are a high performer, curious, and self driven, this is a great place to grow and have outsized impact.
Cons
This is not a slow or relaxed environment. Expectations are high and the pace can be intense. If you want a predictable, low pressure job where you can coast, this will not be a good fit. Ambiguity is part of the job and not everyone is comfortable with that.
