I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
Got e-mail from them and then passed to a recruiter who scheduled a phone screen and then I was given a take-home exercise for a REST web app.
I took a whole weekend working on the project, nice production level code, comments in place, checked and re-checked instructions, made it pretty with all the bells and whistles.
In 3 days got a feedback saying they would not proceed due to a totally unrelated reason to any instruction that were given. It was REALLY frustrating to be punished by following the exact rules given by them after working so hard for days I could just be chillin'.
Very bad experience... would never apply again.
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
1) Coding Challenge
2) Technical coding round
3) Behaviour/ hiring manager round
DSA questions asked in first 2 rounds, leetcode medium to hard. Overall process was quick, got replies within a few weeks.
