Pros

DoorDash gives you a $750 office supply credit you can use for a desk or an extra monitor.

Cons

Recruiter sold me on the job being salaried. On the first day, I was sorry to find out that I was hourly instead. The training program was very unorganized and the trainer even admitted that our “script” was flawed and he could have “made a better one”. I learned how to do my job by asking other employees and trial and error. I didn’t receive much help from the actual trainer. Another glaring issue with DoorDash is that my quota was the same as the SENIOR Account Executives, but as an Associate AE, I was paid significantly less. After asking two different managers about our metrics, I never received a true response. I quickly found another job where my hourly pay went up almost $10/hour with another sales job with better benefits. After I quit DoorDash, I had some additional questions that needed to be handled through HR and my prior manager. It is going on 3 weeks now and the issues are still unresolved and HR has been extremely useless.

Pros

- The company offers comprehensive benefits and is very well-established and professionally run. - The entire process is very standardized. Whenever there are questions or approvals needed, the response time is very fast. - The office environment is great.

Cons

- Extremely toxic culture on certain teams. Working late is basically expected, and if you are not constantly online or putting in extra hours, you may be labeled as “not committed” or “not proactive enough.” There is a lot of pressure to perform being busy rather than actually being effective. - Reorgs happen constantly, and every manager change feels like a warning sign. If you get moved onto a new manager’s team through a reorg and you are not one of “their people,” good luck. They may never fully trust you and can make your life miserable until you eventually leave or get pushed out. - Leadership is incredibly political. There is a lot of sucking up, favoritism, and clique behavior. Being good at your job is not always enough. I have seen capable people get pushed out very suddenly because they did not have the right relationship with leadership, while people with weak skills but strong political instincts and good “talking skills” continue to get rewarded. - Terrible environment for early-career employees. There is basically no real training, and very little patience for junior employees who are still learning. You are expected to figure everything out on your own, but at the same time, you may still be criticized for not already knowing things nobody ever taught you.
