I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DoorDash in Mar 2016
Interview
Had a phone screen with a guy from recruiting. He threw a bunch of buzzwords but was not able to give me clear requirements for the job I was interested in and seemed a bit arrogant. He kept insisting on knowing my current salary even though I repeatedly explained I am not comfortable disclosing that information, so he threatened that they won't be able to continue the process because of this. I got rejected with no reason shortly after the phone screen call.

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for DoorDash
Walking into the coding interview, I was taken aback when they asked about finding the K nearest restaurants based on coordinates. Just days before, I had stumbled on a mock on prachub.com that mirrored this question almost exactly. The interview felt straightforward, but I struggled with some behavioral questions. Overall, the experience was underwhelming; I expected more technical depth. After several rounds, they decided to go in another direction, which was disappointing given my prep efforts.
