      Data Scientist Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at DoorDash

      Interview

      They throw a chunky take-home challenge at you without even having a phone conversation first. To make things worse, they say that they want the best of you with detailed analysis and delivery. So, the company loses zero time on you but expect you to spend hours freely on their project. That should give you a sense of company culture

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Take-home data challenge to be completed.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DoorDash (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Jul 2026

      Interview

      Quick HR screening where they talk about the role, salary, benefits and how the entire hiring process works. Then there is the technical screening. Round 1 is a SQL round (hackerrank medium-level) with questions that are resemble the actual work that they do there. There are 4 questions, but there's barely any time for the last question and I was told it's not actually expected that you solve it all. Round 2 is a case study, just an open-ended business problem and you have to walk them through how you would deal with it. Virtual onsite is 4 rounds - 1 round with a cross-functional partner (behavioral) and 3 case studies just like the technical screening, they're just checking for consistency here, there's nothing new to expect.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      SQL were very trivial questions just involving CTEs and group bys. 3rd question was the hardest and required you to compute a metric relative to the last month, so do refresh your knowledge on window functions.
