It's a fun, automated way to set up meet and greets across departments and get to know team members. I love that I can opt out if the week is too busy, and, if no one has taken initiative, it will assign someone to book some time!
I wish that it had more prompting questions once we meet and could integrate with our rewards system.
Helping me meet coworkers that work in other departments/locations.
Donut is very cool! I like the way it can be the highlight of my day.
I do not dislike anything about Donut currently.
We use Donut as a way to get our teams together who might not always interact. We all work from home so it makes things fun.
Very easy to setup and integrate. Awesome addition to a remote team.
Very pricey for what it offers. If you have a small team of 30, you'll probably have to ditch it as it won't make sense to pay for the tool
- Team alignment in a remote environment
- Making new team members know each other
It connects me randomly with other people at my organization every two weeks for a quick coffee and donut chat. Just a great way to meet people you would never normally interact with in your duties
Nothing - we use it simply for those meetings and its great
Being remote I only interact with my sales team. In an office I could intearct with everyone - so what donut does is connect me with those other awesome individuals at my organiation
I love how easy it was to set up and go!
It was a little confusing trying to set up the lottery for my CEO, but when I reached out for help I was able to get what I needed.
Building bonds and bringing people closer over coffee despite being remote.
The simplicity and ability to easily connect and integrate with slack. Its great to automate the team getting to know each other.
Not much to dislike, the pricing levels are too stark and the premium price can be much for what you get.
Solving for multi office/ remote employee connectivity. Really creates an organic way of encouraging employees to get to know one another creating a singular culture.
I love that it connects people across different departments. It allows our sales team, marketing team, and others to connect in ways they never would by just naturally scheduling meetings.
It's easy for some employees to disengage, which is fine. But it would be ideal if we could ensure that everyone was using the product.
We have seen people connect! In a remote environment, that's difficult, and this tool allows them to do that.
The app is easy to use as a slack installation and provides prompts to set up a meeting / interaction with another co-worker. The app also gives you summaries about how many pairs met and who initiated the conversation.
I dont have any real dislikes about the app/ service.
For remote employees - this is a great way to automatically / effortlessly set up interactions without any one team member needing to coordinate the task. This is especially great now that everyone is remote.
The simple and easy way to know our collegues and different types of paring options. Its great how it automatically pairs teammates or colleagues to know about each other
Nothing specific to mention or point out as dislike. Just one small improvements can be made while showing time availability for scheduling meetings
Building team collaboration and friendly worklpace. Instead of messaging our collegues prior knowing them could be awkward at times, this app helps to mitigate this issues

Donut makes it easy to meet colleagues that you might not otherwise because they're in another department or your work doesn't overlap. You can select if there's anyone you don't want to be paired with, and the frequency. Donut has access to your calendar (Google in our case) so it's easy to book a chat at a time that works for everyone.
It can be hard to get people to buy into using Donut, which is no fault of the product just something that people tend to do. Maybe including some more exciting copy could help improve uptake.
I've met a lot of coworkers that I wouldn't have really had occasion to speak with, either in-person or virtually, through Donut. I truly believe that it helps to build a sense of community and team building whether your team is remote, hybrid, or onsite.
