I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
initial phone call with hr and followed by a technical phone interview with coding problem and background discussion. After that was a 5 round on-site interview including lunch talk with a senior employee. Got the result in about 3 days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Coding on your own machine, system design discussion and behavior questions.
Generally, it was not quite difficult; however, there was a coding round that ask you to extend features for an exist script with around 300 lines of code. Don't expect any help from interviewer even my was later for 30 mins, you WON'T get any hint even as generally as how the code works or function call flow. You have to figure the whole 300 lines by your own without any provided knowledge.

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.
