Underpaid & Unethical Would Run

Pros

I would say the pros are free food (sometimes). DoorDash has gone downhill, free food if you come into office and basic benefits. You may or may not get equity I’ve heard several similar roles that have/havent

Cons

DoorDash is a very interesting company to say the least. They pay restaurants and companies to join them. Which makes sense why they’re still in business against the Ubers & Grubhubs of the world. I would advise anyone who orders to double check pricing on your carts. With pickup orders/deliveries. Lots of shady business going on here and most of the managers are complicit and look the other way. Little to no room for growth, underpaid, and overworked. I didn’t realize I signed away my personal time to work here. Throughout my time I don’t think I’ve run into a POC manager as well which is very telling, the company likes to have token or two but just for optics. But this comes from a company who supported “super pacs against their own delivery drivers” ~ Google it & the real history behind DoorDash Internal growth non existent & little to no training offered. No real company culture

Pros

They're still pro remote work. Great for learning about the fundamental unfairness of life at a deeper level. You learn a lot about politics. The phrase perception is reality will be hammered into your bones and tattooed to your nerves.

Cons

If you join, you will suffer. This is by design. It's not the work - though they will overwork you. It's primarily because of the fear-driven toxicity that pervades the culture. Doordash is a system built to shield executives from risk, and push accountability and blame downwards. It is command and control, tops-down, principle of least information. Your coworkers will be your enemies and your managers will throw you under the bus. No one invests in systems, because they've learned how to hide bodies and pin the blame on someone else. It's over-run with MBAs who wield buzzwords like weapons, think anecdotes are silver bullets, and are obsessed with control. Complexity will be oversimplified. Narratives will be managed at every level.

Has gotten really awful

Pros

I mean the base pay is decent for the sector and the RSUs are more than fair

Cons

Unfortunately they’ve adopted “goaling” that is a mess and unattainable. Really depends on how lucky you get with your book. You can really get Fed over though with an awful book QoQ. The products my org pushes are outmoded and has a ton of blockers. The job used to be good but over the last year has gotten really awful. I’m doing 2-3 people’s jobs with basically no support. Offering feedback goes nowhere. Good run but it’s come to an end. The company brags about hiring the best from great companies but the truth is they hire upper management from other companies where they couldn’t get promoted so they get a title at DoorDash but aren’t familiar with the landscape at all and it shows daily. There’s also zero growth internally unfortunately. The culture is pretty toxic as well now. There was an “ event” where a VP wrote something awful in slack and then made up an elaborate lie to explain it and also blamed his son 🥴 and was believed by his managers. Very white, very bad culture.
