I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Francisco, CA) in June 2020
Interview
Started with a call with someone on the team. She asked me mostly about my experience - we didn't dive too deep.
Next, someone from recruiting sent me an email shortly after to schedule a take home case. The case was just an excel of related data, and asked for recommendations.
The case was beyond my current abilities, and made it pretty clear the position wouldn't be a good fit. I was glad that they did the case before more interviews. The recruiting contact let me know about 24 hours after I submitted the case that I wouldn't be moving forward.
Honestly, if they would provide some feedback about why I didn't move forward, it would be the best interviewing process I've had. (I know most companies don't provide feedback, but as a candidate, it's incredibly frustrating to have to guess at the areas of opportunity)
Thank you very much for your feedback. We greatly appreciate your perspective on the DoorDash interview process. If you have any additional feedback please email recruiting@doordash.com.
Other Operations Manager interview reviews for DoorDash
I applied online. I interviewed at DoorDash (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2025
Interview
After one week, I received a call and had a phone interview. The questions focused on my experience in operations, the improvements I had achieved in my previous role, how I believed I could contribute to the company, and how I manage work teams. The interview lasted around 15 minutes, and about three days later I received an email informing me that I would not continue in the process. However, no feedback was provided; I was told that it was not possible to share feedback from the interview, which I found somewhat strange because if they do not explain what was missing, it is difficult to know how to improve.
Ghosted after 3 rounds...
- Initial HR screening call
- Excel analysis: 48 hours to complete some analysis on a set of data. It's completely open-ended so you can do as much or as little as you want, but I obviously spent quite a bit of time on it since I wanted to impress and wasn't sure what would be considered bare minimum vs. above and beyond.
- Hiring manager interview: standard background and behavioural questions
- 2 back to back 30min calls with a strategy lead and an ops lead, again standard background and behavioural questions
I thought all rounds went very well, very engaging conversations, I thought I made a good impression all around and was pretty confident I would make it through. Spent a lot of time researching and preparing while juggling current job. All to be completely ghosted after multiple follow-ups :)
Extremely disappointed and frustrated to say the least. I would be completely understanding if I were sent a note saying they were moving forward with another candidate but they couldn't even be bothered to spend the 2 mins. Not sure if HR realizes these are real people with real life impacts.

Interview
Applied online got a call from recruiter , screening call. Took home test to sort through data, then crickets never heard back. Horrible process, recruiter ghosted me , never called back for feedback or even rejection letter. I crossed them out of my list of potential employer.
