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.

I interviewed at DoorDash
Interview
coding online assesment virtual onsite. interviewers were professional and helpful. asked to deep dive on project. recruiter was responsive and could align with offer deadlines. was helpful with negotiations. coding problems were average difficulty.
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
