Anyone interviewed with DoorDash recently for software engineer role?
How’s the process? Is it worth the time investment? Glassdoor has alot of negative things about their recruiting process in general
I had a pretty good time interviewing there. Unfortunately I blew the ML round and that was the end.
I interviewed last December. The whole process is pretty nice.
They don’t pay well so don’t interview and waste your time
Base and equity sucks!!! Equity was like penny. Interview experience was nice tho.
Looked up some of the numbers. Base seems good? I see a few with a base of 215k and up. No equity numbers, though
I was interviewed for a data engineering role, they give you an automated coding test where you have to submit your results by sending an email to a bot. the hiring manager was rude and disrespectful. It was a waste of my time.
I spoke to their recruiter and she was stupid like a wall. I told her that I'm not going to estimate my java skills on a scale from 1-10. I can discuss my projects with qualified engeneers and let them decide if my experience matches their need. She moved on pushing 1-10 on other skills. Then she was pushing me to use DoorDash for my delivery needs. Totally irrelevant to the whole conversation.
I can see how annoying it can be for an experienced engineer to be treated like this by a recruiter. This is similar to experienced engineers being interviewed by kids barely 3 years out of school for LC algos.
I did not hang up, although I should have. I was patient and tired to maintain professional attitude. It was hard.

I went till final round 2 months ago My experience - Phone 1 : easy leetcode Phone 2: easy sorting question Onsite: 1st round - algo on graph (you need to execute your program on your own laptop) 2nd round - behavioral 3rd - lunch 4th - design easy- medium level 5th - based on previous experience (no coding) 6th - coding (medium level) it was mostly object oriented design question) Overall I did well in every interview with proper solutions. Few days after the interview recruiter said I used extra space in my last round. which was lil strange to me because interviewer was completely disinterested in what I was doing. at last he just asked few questions and saw my code dint say a thing about extra space. Company was really good met with really nice people except the last one. Will I interview again?probably not.They have a hella slow process.
That’s what is really stupid about the interview processes. They expect us to whiteboard and write code for 6 different people. Unless you are working on some micro chip, who cares about extra space. They ask DS questions which either you have already solved on leetcode or is similar in pattern. When it comes to real work, it’s entirely different than what they asked in interviews. I interviewed at few and no one has been interested in what I have done or what projects I have worked on. They bloody want me to sort k-sorted streams on a whiteboard.

It should be noted that with these gig economy companies that many contractors also leave reviews. Also, most people tend only to bother to write a review when they have something bad to say.
You guys have just described Blind.
