Pros
  • Lots of interesting and challenging problems to solve, as DoorDash is not as established as other big tech players due to operating like a startup at heart.

  • Amazing teammates who are super driven and helpful. Although sometimes people may seem overburdened with responsibilities, the vast majority of folks I worked with have a 'play to win' attitude. Instead of cowering in the face of difficult challenges, we tackled them head-on.

  • Depending on the team, you should expect to learn a ton on the technical and business side. Unlike many corporate environments, DoorDash tracks both application and business metrics extensively, and they are open to every employee.

Cons

Depending on the team/org, work-life balance can range from terrible to decent.

When nearly half of your compensation is in RSUs, stock price definitely matters a bit, but to be fair, the entire tech sector was down during the 2022-23 recession.
