I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out for an initial 30 minute call to explain about the role and the interview process.
Initial Tech Screen - This was with a Sr. Engineer at doordash and I was asked a LeetCode style question. The Sr. Engineer seemed super nice and spent time talking to me about the culture.
Despite solving the problem completely, I got an email fro the recruiter that they are not proceeding. DoorDash is known to be super volatile with their interview process

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.
