DoorDash Reviews

Cons

This is a very young company "age-wise", so you might run into situations when meetings are scheduled late at night, which parents with kids wouldn't do. However, even that is manageable because of the Pros described above.

Cons

start-up "growing up" pains as the company grows

Cons

You will have to work hard as everyone's role is very important

Cons

Sometimes the orders end up 30 minutes away. My biggest issue is the rating system. I usually get to the restaurant on time and leave on time. My problem is that restaurants are slow with the orders, and there has been many of times that the customer that live in an apartments doesn't tell the apartment number or give the gate code, or if their building is hidden, they don't say and the.on time rating get a lower. That's kind if unfair considering the lower your rating, the less orders you get. I've complained so much on their Facebook they stopped responding. Sometimes customers live on hidden roads or the GPS, brings me down the wrong street or to the wrong gate of an apartment. That needs to be fixed, I'm try to get to catering order but how can I if I can't get my rating back up. It makes me want to do favor or grub hub instead.

Cons

This is a FAST paced environment and if you aren't prepared to work at a company that has gone from a 1 billion dollar valuation to a 4 billion dollar valuation in less than 6 months than you could find yourself a bit overwhelmed.

Cons

Not enough deliveries.
Distance between deliveries is too far for how much money you receive.

Cons

location (midtown office and sandy springs offices may be an issue for those who don't live ITP)

Cons

Things can change faster than you keep up with them, It's easy to bite off more than you can chew, sometimes communication can be lacking or not as efficient as it could be

Cons

There's a lot of downsides.

1) Despite having a ton of money, DoorDash does not pay well at all. Instead of getting paid, you'll often get options which are pretty worthless. And management is not transparent about anything related to financials. Which leads to:

2) DoorDash pretends to be transparent and open but really, it's taking initiatives in these spaces to check a box. A lot of management is too junior and has no real world experience and don't know how to tackle culture issues.

3) Terrible Engineering

The operations portion of the business is excellent; the engineering talent is not. If you're a software engineer with serious aspirations, don't work here. It's a very relaxed environment but at the expense of software engineer practices and quality code.

4) Zero mentorship

People are bad and they stay bad. There's a lot of potential at DoorDash but no one takes the time to better themselves or those around them.

5) Poor Hiring

DoorDash has a massive problem with hiring. There are several instances where engineers have been hired and their skills were so misrepresented that they were demoted or fired. DoorDash lets really unskilled engineers through the door and then doesn't fire them when the hiring decision doesn't work out.

6) Lack of Accountability

Because most people are bad at what they do there, there's this strange tendency for no one to question the work of others making it incredibly easy to skate and fly under the radar. You could easily not contribute code for months and almost no one would know.

Cons

Lots of manual work arounds, running out of office space
