Doorway pages are practice that falls under the black hat SEO. These works as redirecting pages but this redirection takes place without knowledge of user. User have no idea when he get redirected to a new page. That page have no relevancy to the search query.

These pages are generated while any query is searched. These pages are like cloaking. This happens with a fast Meta-Refresh. These are like bridge pages connecting user to an unknown page.

What Google think of it? Doorway pages are created to rank high for specific queries searched. They can lead user to multiple similar pages. But eventually all these pages will lead you to one single page. This ending page usually have no relation with the search query. They can lead you to some intermediate pages those are not as useful as destination page.
