Pros

- Remote work from home - No vesting period on RSU's

Cons

- No career growth in sight. Have gone through 4 different managers. One manager was let go before the yearly review and was given low-performance reviews out of the blue in order to not give a pay raise. - Managers suck. Literally don't do anything but push aggressive timelines on you and manipulate you into saying yes all the time. They also want you to prepare all the docs that they should be preparing. Literally don't do any work but act as a middleman between higher-ups. - Initially joined with 3 engineers and now down to me handling the workload of 3 and still no promotions. - Professionally toxic! - If you are not an E5, you have 3 years to get there from E4 to E5. If not you are fired.

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.
