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

Pros

You make tips and get to shop at a lot of stores. More areas are open for delivery. You don't go far and have specific zones, like cities, you stay in usually. They give you a special tier of being a Dasher when you're doing the best deliveries, they're called tiers from silver to gold to platinum. Platinum gives you the dash now button allowing you to dash whenever.

Cons

Sometimes the delivery will get marked as if you didn't deliver the item and it gets put on you. There's sometimes drastic waits between orders. The restaurant may be closed or out of the thing the customer ordered. You can't decline order or else the acceptance rating goes down and you'll lose the certain requirements to be a higher tier driver.
