I’ve been at Grub 3 years and enjoy it. Definitely a data driven culture. TC = base + rsu’s vesting quarterly. 2-3% increase each year with rsu refreshers. Pay in line with market average for Chicago from what I have seen. I’m in a tech role and have a pretty good WLB with the ability to work remotely 1-2 days a week. This varies depending on role/manager
Did you get an rsu refresher this year? I hear they’ve been stingy with that
Pay is super low compared to average of NYC. Senior with 6 yoe making 131k
Aside from the gossip in the media, I really think they’re going to get bought out. Even though they say it’s rumors, I believe it’s true. I’m not at a profitable company either. They laid off a lot of people so I don’t know about delivery companies.
Seconding my colleague's comments about WLB. It's not as bad a place to be as the news would have you think. Buyout is possible, but no more or less possible than it's been for the last ~2 years.
Regarding the Postmates comments: we are profitable, just look at public reports. There have been no layoffs.
I’ve been at Grubhub for a year and a half in a non-tech role and I honestly think the company is really good to work for. While you’re approval of the company will likely depend on your team. Management is pretty transparent with employees, has been doing a lot of work to reduce employee turnover with added benefits (ex. Better parental leave), and the constant food and parties from culture club are a an nice bonus. Regarding the rumors, I honestly think Grubhub will outlast the competition. The fact that Grubhub was first to IPO in 2014 and is still profitable means it has a lot of runway to take slow and steady moves while waiting on competition to implode. That’s not to say GH isn’t doing anything to compete but it’s definitely taking steady steps to stay ahead. Postmates has been trying to find a buyer for over a year to no avail and wasn’t able to IPO because of its poor numbers. DoorDash was supposed to IPO by now but due to a combination of lack of revenue and poor investments by SoftBank (ex. WeWork, Wag, etc.) they’re also struggling to prove stay power. Add in California bill AB5 that would destroy DoorDash it’s easy to see them either selling to someone (most likely) or being out of business in less than 10 years (less likely). Uber Eats will likely be sold off as Uber try’s to restructure its business to be revenue positive. Add all of that together and you see Grubhub still standing. Yes DoorDash has better branding and marketing than Grubhub but they are also spending more money on it than Grubhub and still aren’t profitable. Even while taking more in fees from diners! Point is culture is great in every Grubhub office (or so I’ve seen/heard), the pay depends on what non-tech role you’re in, and the company has stay power. Make what you will of it.
Hey Can I DM about some questions ?
People in NY office seem to have a better work life balance- most upper level folks are in the Chicago office. Depends on which department you’re at the culture can be v different. I know some people leave before 5 and WFH 2 days a week while some people stay until 7 and never get to WFH. So it’s all about luck!
WLB is pretty good, comp leaves much to be desired. I’d say it’s a great place for folks who wanna take it slow and steady. Definitely an enjoyable place to work for , but if you’re shooting for $$ look elsewhere.
I work at Grubhub, came from Yelp. I made over 6k my first month and didn’t even feel like I did anything. The sale is easy, the atmosphere is lax. Working from home on a whim, total autonomy, and leaving whenever you close an account or two are common practice.

The end of Backdoor Roth?!
I'd have second thoughts about joining a company with a bleak future. But ymmv
Thanks for your response. Why do you think it’s future is bleak?
He/she doesn’t. Just regurgitates what they read on a forum.
