Flexible, Autonomous Workplace with Room for Operational Improvement
Pros
One of the standout aspects of working at DocPlanner is the flexibility in working hours, which varies depending on the team you’re part of. This flexibility made it easier to maintain a good work-life balance. Additionally, the autonomy given to employees is impressive—there’s a culture of trust, with zero micromanagement at any level. Another positive aspect is the focus on code quality within the engineering teams, even if is challenging. There is a clear commitment to adopting modern best practices, and continuous improvements are made every day. This proactive approach by the engineers ensures that the technology remains up to date and helps maintain a high standard across projects.
Cons
On the other hand, the company seems to be at a transition phase—big enough to require more structured processes, but still operating with a start-up mentality. While it's clear that efforts are being made to shift from a start-up to a scale-up management style, the transition has been challenging. There has been some mismanagement of growth due to various acquisitions over the past few years, which has led to a sense of disorganization at both the product and tech levels. This has caused some operational chaos as teams work to adjust and bring everything under control.
