Doordash vs 88

8x8 (public company): Base: $190k Equity: $120k (3 years vest) No sign on bonus Doordash: Base: $160k Equity: $150k (4 years vest) Sign on: $10k Note: Doordash still open for negotiation. My goal: I’m a junior developer (3 YOE) and want to take my skills to the next level. Plus I want something shiny on my resume. Also tips on what to negotiate on is greatly appreciated!

8x8 is okay but DoorDash is a better brand and you may learn more in a fast paced environment.

Thanks! 8x8 interview wasn’t really difficult compared to Doordash. Is it safe to assume their eng team won’t allow me to learn a lot compared to doordash?

Proofpoint foodtruckj Oct 21, 2018

It's not safe to assume it but DoorDash overall beats 8x8 in name recognition, pay, and learning opportunity.

I remember when I interviewed at 8x8, they said they are going for building "good enough" products to have more products to offer for their clients. In other words, quantity over quality. Doesn't sound too good to me to be honest. Also they mentioned that there are many legacy code written throughout their systems and how it's been a pain for them to go around it.

Doordash is probably better but they are basically a company of junior level ppl who have no deep experience. They're just now hiring ppl who know how to manage. Until now they entry level folks with passion have just been making stuff up. So, I would ask them about mentorship, career development if you haven't already. Is there anyone there you can actually learn from? Source: my own long ass interview process with them...

@op could you share your onsite interview experience with 8x8?

New
IyvL68 OP Oct 21, 2018

Two on-sites. 1. 3 hr project build, then demo 2. Algorithms with senior engineer Not to bad. But I don’t like how they required 2 onsites....

How much do you value their shares?

DoorDash PADelivery Oct 21, 2018

Extremely high. We are quickly taking market share away from UberEats and Grub. Expect ~ 4x growth in 12-18 months.
