From Parenthood to Productivity: How DoorDash supported my maternity journey

Balancing a demanding tech career while becoming a new mom is no easy feat, but DoorDash’s support every step of the way made it possible for me to navigate this journey and thrive. In addition to a generous maternity leave policy, the company also contracts for birth and postpartum benefits through Carrot, a global fertility care platform. My manager had my back and assured me that I could take the time I needed to prioritize my newborn daughter. Those resources and the support of my team eased my transition into motherhood and gave me the confidence to return to work feeling empowered. My experience highlights the incredible impact of workplace empathy and the value of a company that genuinely cares for its employees.
