DoorDash Mobile Developer interview questions

1) Take home project. Implement it as if it were a production app. I took 2 days to fully implement it with all the bells, whistles, test code, architecture, etc. a full fledged app would have. 2) If that passes a phone screen about various aspects of your code. 3) If that passes an on-site where you a) Add a feature to your code b) White board architecture questions c) Behavior interview d) Hands-on debugging e) Manager lunch When I was asked to do (a) I quickly realized there was not enough time to do it "correctly" in 45 minutes. So I sort of hacked it in, with the full OK from the interviewer. Something didn't work at the end and the debugger was giving me problems trying to examine why. I clearly demonstrated I was quite capable of solving the problem, and it seemed the interviewer thought so, but ran out of time. When I was rejected for the job the next day the recruiter said it was because I failed this test. I don't think this was the real reason but it left them an "out." Until this bogus reason for not getting an offer I thought they were one of the few companies that knew how to interview seasoned SW engineers vs most companies that want you to white board what I feel are stupid problems that are totally irrelevant to what your job would be.

i applied through linked in and recruiter contacted me and took a basic HR round and mentioned team is interested in me and will send a coding test which i need to do in 48hrs and they will review in 48hrs once i submitted. I did the coding test which is basically designing a small app with doordash API , as promised i did and submitted in 48hrs , technically that took me around 5 hrs to complete . once i submitted i did not get reply for almost a week then i emailed recruiter about that, she dint reply . After few days i emailed her again asking for status as i worked on the app for 5hrs and need a proper response. she replied saying that team rejected me and they did not provide any feedback on code and she also mentioned she will schedule a time next week to go over my mistakes , I was happy that at least i am getting a proper feedback and it gives me a chance to improve if there r any , but in the next call she mentioned that team did not give any feedback and i am sorry i cant do anything I don't mind if they hired me or not, I wish they at least give a proper feedback to ppl who are attending interviews.
