Pros

- Company doing well, making customers happy. Those options might be worth something someday. - Quick to adopt new technologies, so you won't get behind the industry curve.

Cons

- Management is really young, and out of their depth. The founders lucked into the business with their school project, and are riding the success to multi-millionaire futures. Unfortunately this doesn't mean that they have any idea of how to run a successful business. - High-ego engineers. Tech meetings which should be fun and supportive often devolve into ego contests where engineers try to squash each other's ideas. Worst engineering culture I've ever seen! - "Unlimited vacation" actually means that you have to feel guilty about time off, and you don't get credit for unused vacation when you leave. Don't get fooled by this ripoff!

Thanks for sharing the feedback and sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience working at DoorDash. Over the last few months, we've strengthened the executive team by hiring several leaders, including a great VP of Eng. We take feedback very seriously and always want to know how we can improve. If you'd like to discuss more please email me at hr@doordash.com.

Pros

Some opportunities for career growth if you are willing to sacrifice work/life balance. Great snacks/perks Currently scaling very quickly which can be exciting Majority of employees in HQ are young/friendly

Cons

Company culture can be overly aggressive Lots of widespread communication issues Not many senior women (particularly in engineering) Eng team is always sprinting -> lots of tech debt A lot of the eng managers are very junior and were promoted for technical abilities rather than people management skills Top level management is very reactive
