Interviewed with doordash for their NYC office recently. Since it was closer to the holiday season I decided to stay in the city for a week at my own expense and asked if doordash would be okay with just paying for the flight. FYI, I made it clear that I wasn't asking doordash to pay for food and lodging for any part of my travel. The coordinator who is responsible for making my travel arrangements suggested that I take a one way flight closer to the interview date. I tried talking sense to the coordinator that paying for a one way trip makes no sense and that if I reimburse my hotel and food expenses it's going to be more expensive than a round trip flight. After involving my hiring manager, I had my travel cleared. Now after the interview, the coordinator hasn't approved my expense claim stating that that only my fight expenses were agreed upon and that I should have to pay taxi expenses (to/ from airport ) out of pocket.
I'm getting the feeling that combining leisure with interviewing was a bad idea. Has anyone had a similar situation before? What did you do to resolve it?

They should start including common sense questions in LC.
Combining leisure with interviewing does give a bit of a weird impression. Some part of them might think “did you actually want the job? Or a free flight to NYC?”
I had a really Good experience with them coming from nyc to sf to interview.
