I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DoorDash (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2025
Interview
Phone screen
1. Leetcode question, medium
2. Project deep dive
Project deep dive is not going well since background not match, this is frustrating because the recruiter reached out to me and said my experience is matching the team

Walking into the coding interview, I was taken aback when they asked about finding the K nearest restaurants based on coordinates. Just days before, I had stumbled on a mock on prachub.com that mirrored this question almost exactly. The interview felt straightforward, but I struggled with some behavioral questions. Overall, the experience was underwhelming; I expected more technical depth. After several rounds, they decided to go in another direction, which was disappointing given my prep efforts.
