I am trying to decide between DoorDash and some other good companies (offered TC ~ 360k). I want to get some information about the culture and work environment at DoorDash especially in data science org? How is the work/life balance? Where do you see DoorDash in five or ten years? EDIT: What is the plan for RTO for this team? what about in general for the company? Senior Data scientist - ML offered TC: 350k #doordash #machinelearning #datascience
How is the data science team defined at door dash ? Is it Amol’s team
no, alok's
What is Alok’s level LinkedIn says he is head of data science there ? Is he a vp or a svp?
work-life balance should be similar to uber overall one thing about doordash, and that team in particular, is it's absolutely a meritocracy. if you can demonstrate strong impact working just 30 hours a week, then you'll do well and get promoted, no questions asked. there is no "butt in seat" culture here
That's great to hear. Are you in that team yourself? How do you like it?
yep, I am, and I do like it DD isn't that different from other tech companies I've worked at. I'd say the biggest differentiator for me is that our team's leadership is great. alok is awesome and he's found great managers to work under him. all highly technical folks with good communication skills
Yoe ? Current level at uber ?
How was the interview process?
If you're an L5a at Uber shouldn't you be making close to that TC already?
TC is not everything!
