Most tech companies face real challenges in creating an environment that brings about innovation. Inspiring this kind of creativity requires the right factors to foster the creation of new ideas and execute them. Hackathons serve as temporary environments outside of everyday work schedules which can result in the development of creative solutions to existing problems while improving team morale and networking.
DoorDash engineers always look to overcome challenging problems with creative and practical solutions, whether it’s bringing a new experience to our customers or improving internal processes with new tools. Company-wide hackathons are one method we use to propagate innovation.
