DoorDash Software Engineer Interview interview questions

Honestly felt like a waste of time. Initial recruiter screen was standard. Then came a 60-minute tech screen with one engineer. The question was a LeetCode hard the kind that shows up at the top of their tagged list. I had seen similar ones on Hack2Hire, so I was prepared and got it working without hints. Still got rejected. The interviewer kept jumping in mid-code with “suggestions,” which only made things more confusing. I didn’t need help, but it felt like they were trying to steer the problem in a weird direction just to add pressure. At one point, they casually mentioned engineers here “own everything end to end” and “don’t get much input from managers” which they spun as “a lot of autonomy.” That was kind of a red flag. Glad I practiced beforehand Hack2Hire, LeetCode, and Blind helped me recognize the pattern quickly. But the overall experience? Not great.
