I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash in Sept 2016
Interview
- a phone call from the recruiter within a week after I applied online.
- one coding interview on the phone
- one whiteboard coding and one sit-down coding over zoom
- one sit-down coding and one culture fit over zoom
Everyone I talked to was super nice and they all left time for any questions I had at the end.
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
Given a list of restaurants with their coordinates and a user's location, find the K nearest restaurants
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
