I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash (New York, NY) in Apr 2022
Interview
Standard leetcode questions.
It felt like a bait and switch because the job description was different from the actual position since someone else already filled up the previous position. This was also on top of the fact that someone else was already offered the new position as well, so it felt like your time wasn't really valued.
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.
