Difficult interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DoorDash
Interview
Had 5 rounds of interviews for Principal Software Engineer primarily focussed on architecture, design and leadership. Had 2 rounds of coding focussed on problem solving and critical thinking. Questions were on real problems faced by the Doordash engineering team which helped put into perspective what level of problems I could expect at what scale
