Pros

Leaving a big tech company for DoorDash was the best decision of my life (thus far). There are so many positives to working here: 1) The people: The people at DD are incredible. They're growth minded, collaborative, and highly intelligent (both intellectually and emotionally). They drive me to be better every day. 2) Impact and responsibility: One thing I've noticed at DD is when you exceed your expectations you're given high-impact projects. Every one of these projects has challenged me and forced me to grow. I'm 6 years out of college and I am responsible for projects that Google/Facebook wouldn't have let me touch for 15 years. 3) Leadership: One of the big company mottos is 'ask for forgiveness, not for permission' - and they mean it. Leadership encourages employees to be owners, to take calculated risks and to fail fast. I've seen every solid contributor rewarded with promotions and raises.

Cons

People have mentioned work-life balance as an issue and I would agree, but I've also seen a number of improvements to WLB in the past 2-3 quarters as it's been a top priority for leadership. It's true that I am still working ~60 hour weeks, but this is a startup and that is to be expected - especially when I am growing as much as I am.

Poor leadership. Toxic work environment. Low career ceiling

Pros

Fun colleagues Generally poor but manageable work life balance Really nice office space (though obviously not applicable during covid)

Cons

Extremely limited career growth due to poor data leadership; we don't actually have any technical leaders in the data science org; this org was originally called business development before it got rebranded. so all top leadership are from marketing/business background. Toxic work environment with constant backstabbing, gaslighting and plotting.
