Exhilarating Work and Teammates, Decent Leadership
Pros
- Lots of interesting and challenging problems to solve as DoorDash is not as established as the 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. Vast majority of folks I worked with have a 'play to win' attitude and 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're 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 RSU's, stock price definitely matters a bit -- but to be fair the entire tech sector is down during the 2022-23 recession.
