Pros

The pay is decent, but they overwork you so much that it's not even worth it. I would take a lesser paying job just for peace.

Cons

The most toxic company that I have ever worked for. I haven't even been here a year and I've already lost count at the amount of people that I know that have either left, gotten fired, or just gone on leave. It's so often that people barely blink an eye when you get told that one of your coworkers is no longer at DoorDash--it's just expected. They make us take these quarterly employee surveys and one of the main questions is "how long do you intend to stay at DoorDash?". I think that should tell you everything you need to know. Absolute worst culture because there is no culture beyond everybody burning themselves out and behaving like corporate robots.

Pros

If you are considering working with this platform, be aware that the management model is built on deliberate ambiguity. The app and software are designed to keep you in a constant state of uncertainty regarding your performance metrics. There is no transparency regarding how jobs are assigned or how your work is actually evaluated. This appears to be a calculated strategy to keep workers chasing 'better status' without ever providing a clear path to achieve it. You will never know if you are truly meeting expectations because the system is intentionally opaque. Approach with caution if you value transparency and clear communication.

Cons

The supposed 'flexibility' of this role is actually a double-edged sword. While the platform advertises freedom, it functions as a lack of structure and support. Because the performance metrics are intentionally opaque, the 'independence' of the job feels more like isolation. You are left guessing if your efforts are actually valued or just another input in an algorithm that doesn't prioritize worker success.
