Dover Reviews

The product has potential, but mediocre execution and leadership. The culture is fratty and nondiverse. The retention rate for women is abysmal. 2 of the 3 ever female engineers quit in less than a year - now there’s 1 on a team of 15+, and diversity ratios and retention are bad on other teams as well except for customer experience. Women with children leave fairly quickly. The women still at Dover are extremely catty and cliquey, gossip behind people’s backs, and engage in bullying behavior. The number of times I've heard the "main clique" at the NYC headquarters gossiping about others is beyond me. Dover glorifies never taking a day off of work, having no friends outside of work, leadership hooking up with/dating members of their team, not having HR, and regularly yelling in internal meetings. Admittedly this is not uncommon for tech startups in general.

They were hiring new people 2 weeks before mass company wide layoffs, and laid off people they had hired two weeks prior (clearly knowing this was coming.) Extremely questionable leadership decisions and lack of transparency. Need people with understanding of financial operations on the leadership team. Customers are often unhappy, and operations are chaotic.
