I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash in May 2018
Interview
I applied through employee referral which took a month. It started with a recruiter call followed by a HackerRank assessment and 3 telephonic coding rounds. One of the interviewers was rude and hardly paid attention. Lastly there was a video behavioral round with 2 interviewers, one of whom was laconic and hardly interacted. No feedback provided and its extremely hard to know what they are looking for inspite of cracking all coding rounds.
Thank you for your feedback. We are constantly working to improve our interview process, and will use your valuable insights to improve. If you have any further feedback please email recruiting@doordash.com.
Other Software Engineer interview reviews for DoorDash
Walking into the coding interview, I was taken aback when they asked about finding the K nearest restaurants based on coordinates. Just days before, I had stumbled on a mock on prachub.com that mirrored this question almost exactly. The interview felt straightforward, but I struggled with some behavioral questions. Overall, the experience was underwhelming; I expected more technical depth. After several rounds, they decided to go in another direction, which was disappointing given my prep efforts.
