I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at DoorDash
Interview
Standard HR phone screen followed by case study and interview with the role's direct report. HR phone screen is very typical and two-way with Q&A. Case varies by team, so could be quite data heavy to very open ended - mine was literally a quarter page asking to propose a go-to-market strategy for a specific product. My criticism is that DoorDash seems to have people in the pipeline at various stages, so by the time I did the case I was informed that someone was already given an offer. This seems a little inefficient on both sides, and wasted my time. That being said, HR was very transparent about other candidates, so I recommend asking ahead of time.

First a screening call with HR, then a take home analytical test, followed by two virtual panel interview rounds with 2-3 people each round. Some of the interviews were behavioral and some were analytical.

Interview
Plusieurs entretien un énorme cas à faire pour ensuite passer une autre entretien pour expliquer les réponses une fois le cas retenu et ne plus avoir de nouvelle à la dernière etape

Interview
Had a recent interview process that started off fine but ended up feeling like a waste of time. The initial phone screen with the recruiter was positive (straightforward, professional, and gave me a good sense of the role).
But the hiring manager interview was… odd. They gave a quick rundown of the position, asked me one question (“tell me about your background”), and that was pretty much it. No real follow-up, no questions about my relevant experience, and no opportunity to actually talk about what I could bring to the role. It didn’t feel like a real interview - more like a box they had to check.
So I wasn’t surprised to hear I wasn’t moving forward. Just disappointed that there wasn’t any meaningful conversation or engagement. Felt like a missed opportunity all around.
