TC: 360k total, 210/600/20, stock refresh 0~180k
YOE: 4

Pros:
- Stock's potential upside: pre-IPO as there was a filing of SEC Form S-1, could be risk as well
- Flat organization structure
- A lot of new things to build

Cons/Risks:
- Market Share: 50% according to IPO filing, which is amazing. But given this is a special maybe once in a life situation, how it will grow in the following years is unknown.
- Stock Performance: the Uber/Pinterest/Lyft crash after IPOs were worrying, though Uber/Pinterest have recovered during COVID, Lyft was not lucky yet.

Questions:
1. WLB: heard that wlb is as bad as facebook, is that true?
2. Do you like the work/project at Doordash?
3. What is the work culture like, and do you like it?

Edit:
1. Unfortunately, did not catch up the pre-ipo train.
2. This is the most expensive lesson. According to ipo public news, valuation is about 39B, and 1-week loss is 1M.
3. Joined, and working as a happy puppy

    Was at DD. Wlb is definitely on the bad side. Lot of Junior/new grads working round the clock. And non existent infra so tripping on production issues all the time. (Incall)
    It gives a very startup vibe, hacking around and wiring stuff to make it work. So if you're looking for that kinda thing, rough and freedom then it's good.

    Are you l4 here? Also are you getting annual bonus? I heard they changed rules recently and stopped giving?
