Pros

- Shiny, new tech - Scale is pretty large - Food perks are okay - Decent work life balance

Cons

- Incredibly political, be prepared for backstabbing - Shiny new tech is also implemented in a way that makes it a bit foreign for even seasoned veterans - Almost no onboarding whatsoever - Also, related to the last two points, because of how some of the stuff is implemented (not a huge knock on the stack but there's going to be some ramp up time), no matter how much experience you bring to the table, you're going to be treated as if you know absolutely nothing - For being in two major, incredibly diverse metropolitan areas, GrubHub sure is not diverse at all

Pros

I appreciated the flexibility, which made it an ideal gig as a parent balancing busy schedules. The instant daily cash-out feature is helpful for managing tight finances during difficult times. I personally found the day-to-day work enjoyable, offering daily opportunities to meet diverse people and discover interesting local restaurants. Before COVID I was actually able to utilize business deliveries for networking to obtain clients for my photo both business.

Cons

Grubhub fails to honor its own guidelines and penalizes its top-performing drivers. Work is highly inconsistent; the higher your stats, the fewer (and worse) offers you receive, making financial momentum impossible. The role also carries high safety risks, forcing drivers to rush through traffic under strict time constraints. The company lacks basic empathy and support during emergencies. After a traffic accident on the job, Grubhub showed zero concern for my safety. Instead, their rigid automation penalized my driver metrics for missed offers because I was physically unable to update my app status while handling the collision. To top it off, the final straw was receiving an automated email accusing me of "abusing the system" simply for qualifying for the guaranteed Grubhub contributions I rightfully earned.
