I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash in May 2021
Interview
The interview was very lengthy (8 interviews total) and consisted of a lot of case questions. After the initial phone screen, I was given a spreadsheet with 18,000 rows of raw data and had to draw up some statistical conclusions in a presentation format. This definitely took me a few days. They moved me forward, but the assignment was never brought up again.
I highly suggest you study the documents they provide and read up on their business and core values. They asked a lot of questions revolving around their 3 sides of business: merchants, Dashers, and customers. Come up with some business improvement ideas and of course, know your resume and past projects well. When answering the case study questions, walk them through your thoughts and process.
