Pros

The company has cool offices in the heart of the city.

Cons

- DoorDash is in 5th or 6th place in a low margin business behind UberEATS, Amazon, GrubHub, Postmates, and EAT24 - Profitability has gone from positive to negative in ever market that UberEATS has launched - DoorDash had too high of a valuation during the series B. New investors have preferred stock, and thus a sale would result in ZERO equity to employees

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. As a company built around open and honest feedback, we value hearing from our team, whether internally or externally. We appreciate that you feel our offices are cool, as it's our goal to have a functional space that employees enjoy coming into — it’s good to see that’s working :) As for the cons you have mentioned, we feel that working at DoorDash is a meaningful opportunity, and one of our biggest strengths is our focus on customers, the dashers on our network (delivery folks) and merchants, as opposed to that of our competition. We understand this is a competitive space, and enjoy the challenges that come with that. The ranking list that you shared is quite different than what we’ve seen in news publications and would appreciate if you could send a link to it through our officevibe leo anonymous feedback submission channel. I would add that we’re super excited about the intelligent people we've hired (and will continue to hire), that will shape not only our product, but our overall organization. We are proud that we offer equity at competitive levels to all regular full-time employees at DoorDash, and if we maintain focus on the true things that matter then any increase in equity value will be a nice final touch. As for profitability, we don’t speak to our financials on forums like this, however we are incredibly optimistic and confident about our past, current and future growth. We’ll keep setting challenging goals as we aspire to own the last mile. We encourage you to share any thoughts or concerns you have with the People Science team at DoorDash. They're enthusiastic about responding to employee concerns, and excel in connecting employees to resources, tools, and information to help them thrive in their role at DoorDash. We look forward to partnering with you to make DoorDash an even better place to work!

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.
