DoorDash vs Amazon vs BCG

Apr 24, 2021 17 Comments

Got an offer for a non-tech role at DD that expires in a week. I like the team and they are very interested. I am also in final rounds with Amazon and BCG next week.

In my mind, Amazon and BCG have prestigious brand names, but DoorDash is (potentially) a better long-term play as the company keeps growing. DD comp will probably be slightly lower right out of the bat. But has the potential to grow more with stock refreshes and raises.

Any thoughts on how I should approach these 3 opportunities in comparison? I appreciate any insights about the companies' culture, potential, etc.

    Non-tech at DD vs a consultant at the BCG?
    If so, then the BCG all day long

      It is a tech role but not SWE. BCG is quite interesting but the hours will kill me 😐

      You always want to work in a core function of a company (or as close as possible). At DD, it won’t be a case, it seems.
      Also, the BCG’s brand is stronger and more recognizable (outside of Blind)

      Care to provide some insight behind your recommendation?

    • You’re already in consulting. You’ll get pigeonholed into that industry forever. Move to tech. Better WLB. Except at amazon which had a terrible culture. DD will be better and open up Better long term opps.

      Interesting. Wouldn't you say that the brand name still holds most of is value?

      You should check on LinkedIn to compare where people from core bcg and people from the less competitive DV and tech arms end up to see what you think about where people place and exit options.

  • OP mind providing a bit more details on the different roles? Hard to give advice on this as it seems some are non tech v tech roles?

      I will try again tomorrow and see where it goes.

      BCG is great but it is Platinion which some people say isn't as glamouros as BCG itself.

      I think it is a question of Amazon vs DoorDash. Why would you say your friends are miserable? Is it the hours, thr culture or something else?

    • Hours and PIP culture from what I heard. Sorry missed the part about Platinion. Def not as glamorous as BCG. In this case, Between DD and Amazon, from what you’re saying i would pick DD. Not saying our culture is amazing either but DD does give everyone tons of ownership and there is incredible room for growth if you’re on the right team.
