      Staff Engineer Interview

      27 Apr 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash

      Interview

      Hiring bar is pretty high and long. You may not get an offer if you don’t pass even one of the interviews or even if you do. LC questions were standard and you are expected to pass all test cases which can be challenging. If you finish one LC hard, they will ask you another one lol. Sort of relentless. On the system design, I had a terrible interview. She didn’t know whether it was a domain knowledge or a system design to begin with. It was a system design interview. She kept cutting me off and kind of rude. Didn’t really let me finish or deep dive. Good luck if she is your interviewer! The other rounds were great and interviewers were respectful. I had positive conversations with the rest of the team. My final interview, the interviewer stayed back an extra 15-20 minutes to discuss some of the interesting projects and cool stuff he had worked on! Super nice off him. Overall probably the system design cost me, no regrets, bit off a broken process and I am not really sure if it’s worth applying here for higher roles unless you have a FANG like company on your resume and luck out on some of the interviewers. Good luck!
