The building blocks of our identity
We’re committed to building a company and culture with a lasting impact on the world.
Working without borders
From Jamaica to Poland, Taiwan to Australia, diversity is in Doist’s DNA. We believe the future of work transcends all kinds of borders.
Balancing ambition and wellbeing
Ambition without rest isn't sustainable. And working without ambition breeds complacency. Our team is proof you can have both.
Supporting our users’ goals
As Doist builds the future of work, many more people across the globe will thrive, both professionally and personally.
Thinking in decades, not in quarters
We opt for solutions that will get us where we want to be in the long-term. We’re running a marathon, not a sprint.
Our core values
They are few, but they are mighty. From creating processes to decision-making and recruiting, we build our five core values into nearly every single thing we do.
Ambition
Ambition
You aspire to put a dent in the universe. You set high standards for yourself and those around you. You solve issues that have a high impact on our customers and our company.
Mastery
Mastery
You care deeply about the quality of your work. You’re continuously learning and pushing yourself to the limits of your ability. As a champion of your craft, you are also a champion of your well-being – you work intensely, then disconnect completely.
Independence
Independence
Others can trust that you’ll deliver on time. You keep your word and trust your teammates to do the same. You are proactive, take ownership, and remain accountable with little or no direction.
Communication
Communication
Your communication is clear, concise, and engaging. You keep others in the loop and never go radio silent. You speak respectfully and foster warm relationships through your interactions. You’re culturally and socially aware and can appropriately navigate social situations.
How we work
Radical? Only for now. By using our core values to model our behavior, we show the world that a more empowering future of work is possible – and is already happening.
We embrace asynchronous teamwork
People have the space and trust to disconnect to focus on deep work. No one is expected to respond to messages immediately.

We trust our teammates by default
Autonomy and transparency are more effective motivators than time tracking and micromanagement.
