I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2022
Interview
Recruiter emailed to ask for introduction similar to recruiter call but via email. Performed technical phone screen round. Medium Leetcode question was asked and there are multiple questions asked as a follow up, however due to NDA cannot share it. Got rejected due to shift of business needs.

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.

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
