Pros

- incredibly smart people - quick to adopt new technologies / tools - high visibility, with plenty of opportunities to deliver impact at massive scale

Cons

- work life balance is non existent - DD is a great place to be if you have nothing else going on in your life outside of work - everyone's burnt out and therefore on edge constantly. There's a culture of escalating for even the smallest things which makes it hard to build relationships. The company is full of well meaning people pushed by leadership to the brink.

Pros

You make tips and get to shop at a lot of stores. More areas are open for delivery. You don't go far and have specific zones, like cities, you stay in usually. They give you a special tier of being a Dasher when you're doing the best deliveries, they're called tiers from silver to gold to platinum. Platinum gives you the dash now button allowing you to dash whenever.

Cons

Sometimes the delivery will get marked as if you didn't deliver the item and it gets put on you. There's sometimes drastic waits between orders. The restaurant may be closed or out of the thing the customer ordered. You can't decline order or else the acceptance rating goes down and you'll lose the certain requirements to be a higher tier driver.
