DoorDash‘s golden handcuffs

Backend engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High Compensation: Offers a competitive salary and valuable stock options that are at the higher end of the industry standard. Significant Technical Challenges: Provides opportunities to work on a large-scale, distributed system, transitioning from a monolith to microservices using modern technologies like Kotlin, Go, and Kubernetes. Impact and Autonomy: Fosters a culture of ownership where engineers can make a tangible impact on a product used by millions daily.

Cons

Fast-Paced Environment: The demanding, fast-paced culture can be stressful and may lead to a challenging work-life balance. "WeDash" Program: A controversial company policy requires all employees, including engineers, to perform a certain number of deliveries, which some see as a distraction. Codebase Complexity: The emphasis on rapid iteration can result in a complex and sometimes sloppy codebase that can be difficult to navigate.

Pay depends on Start Date | Cut throat | Not a tech company

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay can be good based on when you joined. But very average company at best.

Cons

Wouldn't really recommend. It's cut throat. There are a lot of random projects to create scope. It's not tech oriented. Not sure why so many people are working here.
