I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Typical software interview, broken into different parts to test different levels of knowledge as well as a behavioral portion. No big surprises. Interviewers had sufficient knowledge of software to understand my thought process even though I did not eloquently convey it. They care more about your thought process than if you get the answer right
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are pleased to hear you felt the process was positive and met your expectations. If you have any further information you’d like to share, please email recruiting@doordash.com.

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

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
