      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      4 Apr 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      Standard tech interview with a phone screen, and then a virtual onsite with 5-6 rounds. Had a bad experience overall, the recruiters were pretty unprofessional and did not seem to make much of an effort in getting my interview scheduled (and in keeping me in the loop about it). For example, they would ask for dates/times that would work for me, and I would give them a number of days 1-2 weeks out. Then a week later I would not hear from them, and would have to follow-up. I would get a response that they are "working on it" and then not hear anything back. Then 2 weeks had passed -- the entire window of time I had given them options for -- and I had to follow up again, as all the dates I had given them were now in the past. It was like they forgot about me, but they did this several times. Way to make your candidates feel respected and prioritized 🙄 Also in the onsite, one of the interviewers canceled last minute (not sure if he had a legit emergency or if he just flaked), so then I had to have that final round set for a completely different day on the following week, dragging out the process. The interviewers were decent and asked questions of average difficulty, with the exception of one gentleman who was probably the rudest person I ever had as an interviewer. Anyone who exploits the interviewer/interviewee power differential to treat others badly is an a-hole in my book.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at DoorDash

      Interview

      The process is fast but the technical rounds are exhausting. DoorDash heavily indexes on practical implementation over pure algorithmic theory. You will get domain specific questions about dispatching Dashers or tracking active restaurant orders. After the technical screen there was a virtual onsite with a mix of heavy system design and practical live coding. They expect you to write production ready code very quickly.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      15 May 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Francisco, CA) in May 2026

      Interview

      A DoorDash recruiter contacted me twice on LinkedIn about what sounded like an active senior engineering opportunity related to AI / agentic systems. The outreach was polished and made the role sound urgent and relevant to my background. After I replied, I was sent a Calendly link, but the first available slot was several weeks out. I scheduled the call anyway. Shortly before the scheduled call, the recruiter canceled with a generic message saying the position had been filled and they could not move forward. This was especially frustrating because the same pattern had happened before: outreach, long wait for recruiter availability, then cancellation because the role was no longer available. My impression was that this was more like pipeline sourcing than a real active recruiting process. I understand roles can close, but candidates should not be asked to wait weeks for a call unless there is a real approved opening and the recruiter can confirm the job ID, team, level, and hiring scope. DoorDash should be more transparent when outreach is only exploratory. Advice to candidates: Before scheduling time with DoorDash recruiting, ask for the official job link, job ID, team, level, location, and confirmation that the role is still active. Otherwise, you may spend weeks waiting for a recruiter screen that gets canceled before it happens.
