Pros

Company is growing quickly and doing well.

Cons

Despite a culture of "doers", DoorDash, more than any other company I've worked at, talks more about doing something than actually doing anything. This is apparent from all the necessary docs and meetings. Those need to be trimmed down so people can actually focus on getting work done. There are also too many middle managers not driving anything but focused on empire building, leading to more meetings, more docs, more BS projects that don't contribute to the bottomline, and more stress and burnout for the ICs actually contributing. And senior leadership is very top-down when setting strategy without being grounded at all on execution, thereby setting unrealistic expectations that contribute to low morale and a high stress environment with bad work life balance.

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.
