      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at DoorDash (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2023

      Interview

      The Interview process had first initial technical Screen. The Phone screen they give you a Tricky Python question and expect you to solve with O/P. While the question was not a difficult one ,it can take some time to solve. And the Interviewer wasn't much experienced so she wasn't following my logic while I explained and while I wanted to print an intermediate step, we couldn't and we spent 5 minutes in just figuring out that. The interviewer never accounted for that time when I asked if we can revisit the code after my SQL questions, but she was like I understood your process and it was clear when you explained(She was just lying to finish the interview). And for SQL questions too the emphasis was on getting trivial details like rounding of numbers. I got the solution which the interviewer acknowledged as well, and she too was confused why it wasn't showing right result, later after 6 minutes we figured that the round was used before I did %calculation. Overall the interviewer wasn't so experienced and she was emphasizing more on trivial components rather than problem solving.

      Question 1

      Python Question: Was asked about Friend and suggestions for restaurants. Mostly Dict and Lists related. SQL was a data model of Doordash and questions around that.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Jose, CA) in May 2021

      Interview

      The virtual onsite consisted of 2 rounds of Design (no Python or coding), so all open ended discussions which I was able to explain in great detail and even mentioned stuff which the interviewer themselves were not aware themselves like Zuul Architecture that Netflix uses for managing push. Interviewers were only a few months old at the company and not much experienced and expected a single answer which defeats the purpose of a design interview. No worries, if they don't want to hire, however, when asked for a detailed feedback no response came back which is a really bad experience for me.

      Question 1

      Growth, scaling challenges for setting up a new DoorDash campaign.
