I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DoorDash (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2021
Interview
Panel interview, lots of coding. Met with 3 engineers and 1 manager. The whole process took half a day. There were a few coding exercises and a discussion about how you would build a feature at a high level. Overall, okay.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Debug this program and explain why something is a bug.
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a list of restaurants with their coordinates and a user's location, find the K nearest restaurants
it was very easy, they ask basic programming questions, can be solved with minimal prep, however they ask a lot about why u want to work here, be prepared to talk for a long time
1) Coding Challenge
2) Technical coding round
3) Behaviour/ hiring manager round
DSA questions asked in first 2 rounds, leetcode medium to hard. Overall process was quick, got replies within a few weeks.
