Interview
I applied for a role at DoorDash through LinkedIn, and the recruiter reached out to me via email, initially sending a Google Forms questionnaire that asked general logistical questions like my location, immigration status, compensation expectations, and availability. After that, I was asked to schedule an initial technical interview. The first interview was straightforward; I was asked to implement a slider in React, and I cleared that round.
The next stage was a 4-part interview lasting over 4 hours, covering system design, domain knowledge, coding, and behavioral aspects, with a 15-minute break after two rounds. The interviewers were very helpful and respectful, making me feel comfortable and ensuring I was heading in the right direction with my solutions.
Although I wasn't selected for the role, I was impressed by DoorDash's interview process. They provided clear timelines after each round and were punctual. They also offered ample interview prep material, making the experience overall very positive. I would definitely consider interviewing with DoorDash again in the future.
