I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash (New York, NY) in Apr 2024
Interview
I came across all the not-so-great reviews regarding DD's interview process on Glassdoor during my interviews, and interestingly, came out of the process with the same bitter experience.
1) The process will make you feel like you are one among hundreds or thousands of candidates who are put in the pipeline by the recruiters whose KPIs are probably connected to just making candidates attend the interviews. Recruiters (those with email @ext.doordash.com) talk and behave like machines. Mine rescheduled the screening call just minutes before the call, then came late in the rescheduled call and barely talked for 10 minutes. In the entire process that went on for 5-6 weeks, there was minimal comm from the recruiter, I had to follow up for the update multiple times, didn't even feel like the recruiter had any interest in me getting selected. It felt like they just have to provide candidates for the interviews and nothing else.
2) One of the 5 interviewers did not even switch on her camera and was clearly multitasking during the interview. This completely threw me off. She asked questions that clearly showed that she didn't go through the deck I had created on the business problem.
3) One of the interviewers rescheduled the interview just minutes prior to the interview.
4) There is a lot of work to be done, with no accountability on DD's part to reciprocate. I went through 5 interviews and a recruiter screening, spent days and weeks preparing for the interviews and working on their case study, and at the end - crickets. Upon follow up I got the detailed email that detailed how their policy doesn't allow to share feedback.
5) There are some very young interviewers who may have grown with Doordash's growth but interview like machines, with FAQ type questions.
Overall, from the outside it feels like there is a mass attrition and hiring going on all the time at Doordash. I was desperate, hence I invested all my time to the process, but when I got another shortlist later from DD, I decided not to pursue it because I could not afford to give everything when I can't see any reciprocation.

Question 1
Same as what others have mentioned. Nothing unique.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash
Interview
First a screening call with HR, then a take home analytical test, followed by two virtual panel interview rounds with 2-3 people each round. Some of the interviews were behavioral and some were analytical.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DoorDash (Montreal, QC) in Aug 2025
Interview
Plusieurs entretien un énorme cas à faire pour ensuite passer une autre entretien pour expliquer les réponses une fois le cas retenu et ne plus avoir de nouvelle à la dernière etape
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash in Jun 2025
Interview
Had a recent interview process that started off fine but ended up feeling like a waste of time. The initial phone screen with the recruiter was positive (straightforward, professional, and gave me a good sense of the role).
But the hiring manager interview was… odd. They gave a quick rundown of the position, asked me one question (“tell me about your background”), and that was pretty much it. No real follow-up, no questions about my relevant experience, and no opportunity to actually talk about what I could bring to the role. It didn’t feel like a real interview - more like a box they had to check.
So I wasn’t surprised to hear I wasn’t moving forward. Just disappointed that there wasn’t any meaningful conversation or engagement. Felt like a missed opportunity all around.
