I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash (Sunnyvale, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
Talked to recruiter about the position, my experience and the whole interview overall process. One technical interview via zoom with one of the eng from other team. Then it would be on-site
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
File System in Leetcode with some difference where they add more methods and restrictions. If you know how to solve it in leetcode, you should be fine to solve the question
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.
