Doordash invitation

Doordash CTO reaches out to me via email. Heard others also get an email from him. They desperate? Also, looked him up, he graduated the same year as me from undergrad (2014). Super jealous that he’s the CTO of this multi billion dollar company. What’s the inside scoop on this company? Interview?

No matter how brilliant someone is people management does mature with age. YMMV.

Interview was on the easy side, and the team also skews young (many Stanford grads from 14-17, go on work vacations together). The consumer-facing product isn’t great (why doesn’t the location or address bar even work?), but they are doing good things for merchants, optimization, and investing in automation (even bots). I initially thought they were going to raise a down round, but they managed to get recently get decent funding it seems.

The company is a piece of shit. They also do not have much reputation among their drivers, and the company is known for playing gimmicks with prices and tips. When i interviewed there, i only met kids, kids, kids. They couldn't even understand most of what i was saying. Their market is thin, though. Look at Uber and Amazon. They have proven logistics capabilities and promosing infrastructure. They will crush this company.

I received such an email too. How stupid of them to send such an email to competition!

I received several such emails. I think their recruiters send the emails on behalf of the CTO. I responded to the email because a friend joined the company in 2016 and spoke highly of the team. But I later found myself waste half an hour with a kid that is full of ego but knew nothing about what I’m saying. I looked up my friend and he already left in early 2017!!! I have no reason to consider this company to be honest.

I only talked to the CTO. Didn’t they hire a VPE recently? http://www.businessinsider.com/doordash-hires-former-twitter-and-groupon-execs-2017-11
