I applied online. I interviewed at DoorDash in Nov 2020
Interview
The interview process consisted of one short (15 minute) phone call with a member of the team to discuss background / experience and why I was interested in DoorDash. The next step involved a data and presentation exercise which is expected to be completed in 24 hours. I probably spent 8-10 hours doing the analysis and putting together a PowerPoint presentation with my findings. After submitting, I was disappointed that the only feedback I received was that my findings didn’t indicate that I would be a perfect fit for the role.

Other Strategy and Operations Associate interview reviews for DoorDash
Had a phone screener with a recruiter who very clearly did not want to be there and just asked typical generic questions about my background, communication styles, etc. Was given a take home case study and short SQL exercise and given 48 hours to return it (which I spent most of my weekend on) only to receive an auto reject email two days later. I did not get to speak to the hiring manager or anyone on the team I applied for.
Fairly simple recruiting process. Intro chat with recruiter, case study round, debrief of case study, then final round in office with team. Was given an Excel sheet full of transaction data and asked to put together a client-ready deck of slides with insights (graphs encouraged) and recommendations based on what was found.

I went through two rounds, with HR and my would-be manager. Both were fairly straightforward. I did think the manager interview went well, but no dice. I believe they look for a certain style in approach that needs some research.
