I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Had two interviews back-to-back. One was a system design interview and another was about leadership/hiring. In the system designs interview, the software engineer interviewing me was very rude and I could tell that I was not going to pass within the first 10 minutes. I started designing a system but he kept interrupting me and asking me questions about another component I haven't even gotten to yet. I like to break a problem down into smaller parts, design each component and tie it all together. Once I get an overall design, I may modify it depending on some requirements I may have not considered. However, it seemed that the engineer expected me to have the same design he had in his mind in the first 10 minutes and he did not let me finish designing even one component let alone finish a thought. Overall, had a very bad experience and if all engineers are like this, then not interested in working for this company.
