Pros

- unlimited PTO - remote working

Cons

- This year, there were no annual salary increases for all, and no communication was provided until the very day when employees typically expect at least a modest adjustment. The quoted reason was that all salaries are above industry levels, but how can that be possible for all roles in all locations? This lack of transparency was disappointing. It’s particularly difficult to understand given the company's strong financial performance — continuing to post profits, pursue revenue growth, pay dividends, and acquire other companies. Meanwhile, inflation affects us all, and the cost of home working continues to rise. Acknowledging these realities with even a small increase would have shown appreciation and understanding of employees’ everyday challenges. - The in-person CKO was cancelled and replaced with a short virtual session. This was disappointing and failed to provide the motivation and sense of connection that in-person events offer. Virtual meetings simply cannot replicate the value of face-to-face interaction. One quoted reason was due to our size, since we are now a slimmer org (following redundancies) that has been resolved. In Engineering, we currently zero opportunities to meet in person and build meaningful relationships. Localised meet-ups are neither effective nor consistently funded (do not include all costs), and they fall short given our distributed presence across Europe. - The company has recently undergone a significant round of redundancies, attributed to the adoption of large language models (LLMs). This has understandably impacted morale and raised concerns about job security and the future of our roles.

Thank you for sharing and giving me the opportunity to correct some of the details here. To be clear, DoiT conducts an Annual Compensation Review process each year in late Q4 and early Q1 in partnership with our senior management team, and approved changes go into effect for January 1st for those receiving adjustments. We use annualized Cost of Living data from the Economic Research Institute and the Consumer Price Index to help inform compensation adjustments, but there are a lot of other factors involved. We work within our budget, and also consider the salary ranges, past performance and strategic impact, tenure, compensation history, current competitive market competition and internal equity - in addition to fluctuations in Cost of Living. All of these elements are considered on a case by case basis as part of our review process. If after looking at all the factors above, we determine that a compensation adjustment is warranted, then we would move forward with the adjustment. We would be happy to have a compensation conversation if you would like to discuss your personal comp in more detail - Please reach out to your manager or People Operations Business Partner and we'll set up time ASAP. On a different note, our org restructuring earlier this year was the result of needing to better align global team members to our go forward strategies and enterprise business goals, it had absolutely nothing to do with a shift to LLMs. AI based cloud consulting (what we call Ava) allows DoiT to offer stellar service and support to our smallest customers at no additional cost to them as part of our DCI Essentials tier, while our strategic Cloud Architects have been refocused to serve customers at our Enhanced and Enterprise tiers. R&D was not impacted by the change made earlier this year but I would strongly recommend talking to your manager to reviewing our internal messaging and recordings (Company Keynote, Departmental Kickoffs, All-Hands Meetings, Ask Me Anything Sessions, FAQs, and more) from that time to make sure you have all the right details about our long term strategy and vision along with the changes we made to adapt our teams accordingly. Kristen Tronsky, Chief People Officer @ DoiT

Pros

- Ability to execute: We have many talented engineers/sales/cloud architects who are open to questions/feedback. I am confident in our ability the achieve goals we set out. - Coworkers: The best part of DoiT is the people I get to work with. Genuine, smart, kind is the three words I would use to describe my colleagues at DoiT. - Work/Life Balance: I have healthy balance of consistent/steady work hours while having the flexibility to change my schedule as needed. Company is complete remote and is a great environment for anyone who wants to be able to spend more time with family and not in an office. - Product Differentiation from other Cloud Partners: DoiT's platform is unmatched when comparing to other Cloud Partners. Most cloud partners rely on 3rd party tools for FinOps, monitoring/observability, diagramming, etc... DoiT has a large engineering team dedicated to building these tools for the DoiT platform. - Bonusly: One of my favorite perks is Bonsuly, which allows us to recognize peers for great work. We are allotted points each month to give to our coworkers which can be exchanged for Amazon giftcards or donated to charity.

Cons

- Drawbacks of a full remote environment which are not exclusive to DoiT. Cross Collaboration among teams can be challenging at times. Working in different time zones offers less time online with colleagues living in other areas. Having too many slack channels for minor items to arrange communication. - Salary is on the lower end of competitive. WFH should taken into consideration when analyzing total compensation. DoiT does do annual bonuses and the benefits are very solid as well. So while I think total compensation is competitive, I do see other cloud partners offer higher salaries (~20% more) for similar roles. DoiT has made it a priority to focus on compensation plans and ensure they are adjusted to fair market value.

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.
