I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at DoorDash in Jun 2016
Interview
I had a 20 minute phone screen. Half of the time spent was the recruiter talking about the company and describing the position. After that, she only asked me to describe one past experience on my resume, to describe 3 things I looked for in a position/company, and a couple of logistical questions like work authorization and would you be interested in a certain field. I received an email the next day that I wouldn't get a technical interview though they didn't seem too interested in asking more.

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.

Question 1
Given a list of restaurants with their coordinates and a user's location, find the K nearest restaurants
it was very easy, they ask basic programming questions, can be solved with minimal prep, however they ask a lot about why u want to work here, be prepared to talk for a long time
