Pros

-The benefits are pretty good - There are some genuinely nice people - The product does some cool things -You learn what working at a toxic company looks so you become better at interviewing for your next company

Cons

When I was hired at Doppel, I was told that lying to customers would lead to a short conversation and termination. As a person of integrity, I admired this. Ironically, I soon realized the people that were most admired in the organization were the biggest liars I've ever met in my life. Lying was rewarded; that should've been the first red flag. Toxic behaviors were also admired and rewarded The strategy on the pre-sales side can best be described as throwing bodies at customers and problems without a clear strategy. The burnout and turnover rate are atrocious. You're expected to jump from call to call and say enough enough AI buzzwords to definitely move forward to a POC without a clear timeline or any mention of budget. Budget is not discussed because it's a terribly expensive product The structure on the pre-sales side is just as absurd. The balance of roles is incredibly unproportionate. There are several sales RVPs that are mostly figureheads; a new AE starts every other week (because the other ones leave or are fired). AEs do not receive much enablement because process doesn't really exist, you just throw questions into Glean and hope that you get the right answer. SEs also lack enablement, burn out, and most last less than a year The company moves fast, but if you're part of the Good Ol' boys club or put in 12-16 hour work days then Doppel may be a fit for you

Pros

Fast-paced startup with a lot of ownership and interesting, meaningful work. If you enjoy solving new problems and wearing multiple hats, there's always something exciting to work on. The company hires exceptionally strong people, so you're surrounded by talented teammates who challenge you and help you grow. Benefits continue to improve as the company grows, and leadership is willing to invest in employees.

Cons

Expect to work hard. It's a startup, so the pace is demanding and priorities can shift quickly. Because so much is happening at once, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of changing priorities and initiatives.

Pros

Exciting space; needed product in cyber.

Cons

Workload expectations are extremely high, especially for the pay. Many employees carry significant responsibilities, and it often feels like there is little room to step away without falling behind. Expect back to back meetings from 8AM-6PM then having to get your work done at night to keep up. If you do take PTO, you'll need to work during it since there will be no coverage while you are "out." Over time, this can take a toll on morale and work-life balance. The culture is suffering as a result of this too. People seem to be working against each other and are quick to throw others under the bus to make themselves look more favorable to avoid getting let go. Turnover is atrocious. A quick search on LinkedIn will tell you a lot of employees are only lasting 6-8 months. There is little direction on priorities which causes day to day chaos. Processes, documentation, onboarding, and internal resources have not scaled at the same rate as the business. Employees often spend unnecessary time navigating ambiguity and reinventing solutions instead of focusing on their core responsibilities. If you are thinking about joining Doppel, I would highly recommend speaking to former employees first.
