Exhilarating Work and Teammates, Decent Leadership
Software EngineerFormer Employee, more than 1 yearNew York, NYPros
- Lots of interesting and challenging problems to solve as DoorDash is not as established as the other big tech players, due to operating like a startup at heart. - Amazing teammates who are super driven and helpful, although sometimes people may seem overburdened with responsibilities. Vast majority of folks I worked with have a 'play to win' attitude and instead of cowering in the face of difficult challenges, we tackled them head on. - Depending on the team, you should expect to learn a ton on the technical and business side. Unlike many corporate environments, DoorDash tracks both application and business metrics extensively and they're open to every employee.
Cons
- Depending on the team / org, work life balance can range from terrible to decent. - When nearly half of your compensation is in RSU's, stock price definitely matters a bit -- but to be fair the entire tech sector is down during the 2022-23 recession.

Pros
You can work the hours you choose.
Cons
As a driver you are bombarded with tactics aimed at drivers taking low pay on deliveries. They try to convince you that if you improve your acceptance rate you will get higher paying orders.So by this theory you must lose money to make money. I am talking about $2 or &3 orders , including tip. At $3.55 gas prices , insurance,and wear and tear on your car you make less than minimum wage.All at the promise of higher pay. Which does not happen often. Another tactic is when there is an issue holding up an order, wrong address, order already picked up, etc you must go through a maze of options to correct. Even if you pick all the right choices you only get half of the pay promised. Even though through no fault of the driver, we pay the penalty. And the helpline( support) is there to help door dash keep their profits and rarely help you. They confuse you to the point of hoping you end the chat, that you give in to see it their way. All tactics to get you to work for less pay. Endless mind games Endless low paying orders.All designed to make them rich.
