Pros

Decent Benefits Unlimited PTO Decent Pay but no bonus pay or 401K matching

Cons

Horrible hiring structure. DoorDash intentionally inflates individuals titles so they can keep them. The compensation team is awful and they don’t even see the need for 401K match or annual bonuses. There responses when employees and recruiters complain is drafted by inexperience communications professionals that feel employees should be thankful, grateful, and entitled to work at DoorDash since the goal is to become the next Amazon. For someone reason DoorDash thinks they will be the next Amazon and that will only happen if they do an internal audit of all the current roles, and pay. For instance they have “senior managers” reporting into “senior managers” directors who are not qualified to actual be directors and recruiting managers and leads who can hire or meet quota inclusivity diversity quota at DoorDash or any other company. Hiring is a pure JOKE the recruiters are either under qualified or overworked forcing the company to spend multiple millions a year. Most VPs or Directors have over inflated titles and are not qualified to be in their role in comparison to the job description they were hired against. Nepotism and politics is extremely prevalent at this company. only at DoorDash. DoorDash is the company that you work at you if want an overinflated titled and couldn’t work anywhere else with that title and pay. DoorDash has potential to be great but they would have to do an internal pay, title, and level adult. Starting from top all the way down. They will need to be more competitive with pay and benefits as there’s are lower than the average tech company and lower then the company they are aspiring to be which is Amazon. Tony the CEO attempts to model the company after the Netflix CEO infrastructure but doesn’t seem to grasp it doesn’t work for every company especially not a company who serious internal infrastructure issues.

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.
