I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2018
Interview
Many rounds coding challenge, 2hr live coding, then a onsite I believe. Currently on the 2hr live coding part will update this review. I recommend using hackerrank or familiarizing yourself with the format. I don't know if all their challenges are through there. The 2hr live coding is through coderpad.

coding online assesment virtual onsite. interviewers were professional and helpful. asked to deep dive on project. recruiter was responsive and could align with offer deadlines. was helpful with negotiations. coding problems were average difficulty.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a list of restaurants with their coordinates and a user's location, find the K nearest restaurants
it was very easy, they ask basic programming questions, can be solved with minimal prep, however they ask a lot about why u want to work here, be prepared to talk for a long time
