15 minute phone screen with a recruiter, then homework to return. I was not moved forward after the homework. My feedback for Doordash: * Move the homework to later in the process or eliminate it. It doesn't make much sense to have someone work for hours (or days, depending on their availability) on something if you aren't sure you even want a manager to talk to them. If you are using the homework to weed people out, you should eliminate it. An effective interview can do this better without wasting anyone's time. * If you do keep the homework, you really need to improve it. I was just given a dataset and asked to provide three recommendations for improving the business. It's very unlikely that a situation that broad would come up in a real work situation. Better questions would focus on the applicant's understanding of the business. For example, what factors do you think might be contributing to decreasing restaurant ratings in this area? What kind of a market would you guess this is, rural, suburban, or urban? Also, it would be very helpful to provide some idea how the homework should be presented. That is, do you want a presentation ready to go over with later interviewers? A memo? A spreadsheet with notes? It was especially disappointing to see that the dataset shared with me hadn't been edited in five years. To be honest, it seemed like this was a hurdle that nobody was actually checking on.
