Good company location in SF downtown not really much otherwise
Bad work-life balance Outdated tech Politics Messy management Not clear business strategy Bad career growth

Looks like Postmates filed for IPO. Congrats guys! Anyone from Postmates set to get rich? Thoughts on the IPO in general? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2019-02-07/food-delivery-pioneer-postmates-is-said-to-file-to-go-public
Saw two articles today that were posted mins apart with conflicting reports about Postmates. One says they are going Public, and other says Uber made an offer. What do you think? what will happen to employees on either side? https://www.businessinsider.com/postmates-revives-ipo-plans-amid-food-del...Read more
as Postmates failed going to IPO due to its aquisition by Uber, now many Postmates employee who joined them by looking at the luring “stock options” numbers might be in soup now? they may almost get the money equivalent to strike price ? Another bad example for not getting tempted to “stock options...Read more

With Lyft IPO few thousand millionaires going to storm the housing market . The Bay Area home prices will go up and up .. Next Uber, Slack, Pinterest, Postmates etc
How's Postmates doing these days, after getting new round of funding? How's the engineering team at Postmates, work culture. Will it IPO or be acquired? I know it may some startup growing pains
Does anyone know how much TC you can get from a pre-IPO (DD, Postmates, Airbnb, Stripe, etc.) for a non-tech data/business analyst role with ~2-3 YOE? Much appreciated. Thanks! #doordash #postmates #stripe TC:110k
Looking at Postmates, Bellevue office for a senior eng position. Should I interview? Possible to strike it rich in upcoming IPO? Are they still giving out decent options packages? I’m getting sick of corporate bureaucracy and might want to try a pre-IPO company where I can have a big impact. But I...Read more

Since they were acquired by Uber, we've seen not one but 2 blockbuster IPOs of gig economy companies, DoorDash and DiDi Chuxing. Even 6+ mos later, DoorDash stock is still going very strong. Not to mention, IPOs have also been very hot in general. Meanwhile, Postmates sold itself to Uber for a measl...Read more
if postmates could stop spamming me promo codes, thatd be great. we get it, you want to inflate some user numbers before you IPO but idk if its gonna help enough
Candidates are 1. Airbnb. They overreacted during the pandemic, sold their equity at a fire sale, laid off 25% of their employees and then rehired some of them a month later, and didn’t go IPO when they could at a hefty valuation. Now they are trying to go IPO in a middle of a pandemic when traveli...Read more
Does anyone else find it balls to the walls insane that DoorDash is the number 1 food delivery company? I think people somehow forget that the company is only 7 years old. Grubhub and Seamless were the "FAANG" of food ordering for decades, Postmates had a 2 year head start, and Uber has the brand ...Read more

Role: backend engineer Base: 140k Stocks: 40k worth of options Yoe: 2.5 Lvl ...Read more
Now that hype is all gone, when they face reality. All they do is to lay off people. some might say that facebook had to face the same stock performance like what uber is facing right now after the IPO. But facebook atleast didnt lay off people, made clever acquistions like instagram, whatsapp and f...Read more
Hi blind! Want to get advice on which offer I should take. I got an offer a fulltime offer at Uber as part of the acquisition of Postmates, but also have an offer from Thumbtack. Financially Thumbtacks offer makes more sense but I wonder if Uber’s name carries more weight in the long term for career...Read more
Doordash went public at $50 billion+ valuation last week. The craziest part? It is it is likely a bargain. Time for a post. 1) Some history: Doordash was founded in 2013 by Tony Xu, Evan Moore, Andy Fang and Stanley Tang. At that time it was known as Palo Alto Delivery service. 2) From the begin...Read more
