DoorDash Reviews

Pros

The company has a very dynamic and open culture. What is more important DoorDash cares to maintain this culture and works hard to hire the right people with the right attitude. People are willing to both listen and to share knowledge and ideas. The compensation is fair. Also, a lot of efforts is being made to create an inclusive and diverse environment. Finally, there is a lot of smart and talented people here at the company.

Pros

most people here are friendly? wlb is pretty good, which makes Doordash doe not look like a startup to me

Advice to Management

RAISE THE HIRING BAR and hire more strong people, otherwise doordash will be closed soon. We already have so many tech debts.

Pros

There are some recent negative reviews here which I feel completely misrepresent the engineering org. Here's the truth: Is there tech debt? Yes, a medium amount. I've also been in this industry for 10 years and I've seen truly bad tech debt where you have giant codebases with absolutely 0 tests/monitoring. That is not the case here by any means. Do not pay attention to people saying our code is "terrible" -- every codebase has terrible modules, but overall it's nothing out of the ordinary.

Truly smart people work in the engineering org. Everyone on my team is great - seriously not a single slacker or incompetent team member. Even outside of my team, I interviewed with the guy who built the first version of DynamoDB (he now works at DoorDash!). We're working on really interesting problems involving distributed systems, machine learning, NLP, etc. You will learn and grow as an engineer if you work here and put in the effort to get to know some of the team, period.

Management is very respectful and has given me plenty of opportunities to work on high profile projects, grow as an engineer, etc. I don't know why people complain about a lack of mentorship; I suspect those people just want someone to hold their hand and don't understand how to put in the work themselves. If you're a self-starter, you'll have no problem here. I mean that, it really couldn't be easier to grow and move up the ranks: the first meeting I ever had with my manager involved them sitting down with me, going in depth regarding my career goals, explaining exactly how to "level up" and what is expected of each level, plus what I should work on personally to get to the goals I was interested in. I've never had a company be that upfront about my performance and really try to understand my career goals - and this happens on a regular basis. This is great.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing!

Pros

I've worked a a hand full of tech start ups and larger orgs and can say without a doubt DoorDash is the best company I have ever been employed by. From compensation, to culture, to benefits. DoorDash goes all out on setting you up for success and pushing you to become your best professional self. Your hard work is noticed, applauded and rewarded. This is not the type of company where you will get stuck on the corporate ladder. If you are sharp; put in the effort and stand out among your peers you will be pushed forward into higher positions with more than competitive compensation. It sounds like I might be over hyping how incredible it can be to work at DoorDash but the happiness and stability I have found here needs to be shared.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work!!

Pros

Benefits (medical)
Free Lunch
Flexible schedule

Advice to Management

Make choices that are better for the employees and just not yourself. You can tell that top management only cares about themselves because they are not willing to make adjustments or changes to keep their employees or dashers happy.
