Pros

Used to be awesome. Free food occasionally.

Cons

Grubhub, once a thriving, culture rich company has taken a sharp turn for the worst. This place is quite literally a sinking ship, competitors seem to have figured this out as well and DoorDash is now leading in market share. The CEO Matt and his sidekick Adam (CFO) are running the place straight into the ground. Their egos have clouded their ability to make sound decisions by hiring Senior Leadership equivalent to a bunch of conceited frat boys. The culture is driven by this new leadership whom are outwardly disrespectful to lower ranking employees and continue to push female employees out of positions of power. Adam drives the ship and stands behind an HR department that prefers to let talent go over addressing countless complaints against leadership. Don’t be fooled by their offers of RSU, the stock has and will likely continue to tank as leadership has no vision and competition continues to grow. Run, don’t walk away from this place!

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.
