I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash (New York, NY) in Dec 2016
Interview
Started out by having an in person interview to test technical skills after meeting a recruiter at a conference I was attending. Then I had a series of four video interviews, three of them technical with engineers, and one of them was more about personality and fit with an engineering manager. When I was given my offer they offered to fly me out to the office to visit.

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.
