Applied online. Got an email from recruiter to learn more and asked to schedule a tech interview. The recruiter was nice. The good part ends here. On the day of tech interview, the interviewer was the worst i have had to interview with. Called late. After which pasted a question and an arbitrary time limit. He wasn't interested in approach. I def reached the solution but he wasn't interested either. For a good while he was talking to someone else instead.
I didn't make it but even if i did i wouldn't have accepted.

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.
