Pros

- One Medical Membership - Saw a lot of internal mobility - Cool product - Overall nice colleagues

Cons

- Little to no perks - Company pushes to keep growing without building infrastructure - People department is a chaotic mess that burns people out, but leadership sweeps this under the rug and boasts that “Doordash is a place you will do the best work of your life and grow the most” - High attrition - Onboarding experience was very lackluster - Culture at the time I was there did not encourage Work Life Balance - Some people slip through interview process but aren’t really competent in their roles

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.
