Any past DoorDash SWE interns or SWEs in general? Have an offer and want to know about engineering @ DoorDash before I make a final decision. Any advice or insight would be appreciated!#tech

  • Joined 4 months ago, haters gonna hate but I like the company. It's fast pace so you work longer hours but you also learn alot and could have good impact in the right team . Mandatory delivery is just for engineer to understand the product more. I actually think it's quite fun

    Donโ€™t come here. You might get injured while making a mandatory delivery.

  • Been here three years.

    - paid super well since pre-IPO. Not sure about now.
    - good career growth opportunities, there have been plenty of projects to choose from and quite sizeable too. Eg building new product or new markets, not just optimizing to increase some obscure metric by 2% type of projects you find in larger companies.
    - people have been generally good with positive attitudes, but overworked though.
    - WLB is a challenge because the amount of "stuff" to do never ends, you really have to explicitly decide no I'm not going to do it otherwise you can easily work every weekend (don't do this!) if you don't set boundaries

    If you're asking about internships, I've mentored one in each year. All three had good projects and all had return offers. Two accepted and I see them at work now, seem to be progressing well. The third accepted a competing offer.

    Iโ€™ve worked with a couple of interns in dd - accompanying there projects and itโ€™s been a great experience on both ends.
    Most of them were sharp and able to turn around interesting projects, and teams were prepared to accompany and mentor them.

    Honestly - much better than previous workplaces Iโ€™ve been at.

    If itโ€™s about mentorship opportunity ๐Ÿ‘Œ
