Pros

The comp lines up well with other top companies.

Cons

Company is dishonest when it comes to their PTO policy. Sometimes promoting it as "unlimited", "flexible", "without limit". Just offer standard PTO with a max of 30 carryover days. That would actually be flexible. That would actually be honest. We currently have to get C-Level approval if a vacation uses more than 9 days. We also have to request more than 4 days of PTO a full quarter in advance. Insane. Upper leadership is full of ex-Uber loyalists that watch out for one another and use intimidation to maintain control. You won't find any anonymous surveys or feedback at DoorDash. They want the names of anyone who questions leadership. Engineering leadership actively calls people cowards if they don't want their name associated with a question. Great look.

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.
