I applied online. I interviewed at DoorDash (Edmonton, AB) in Nov 2022
Interview
First received a online code interview which is super hard. You are given two problems and I remember 75 minutes. The next step was two coding interview with their engineers that happens continuously. Each about 1 hour and the first question is easy but second was a quite hard dynamic programming with memorization. While there are gathering the feed back I received another interview with a manager and he asked many questions about my internship and project experiences. After that I received an email saying they have stopped hiring so that's the end.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find the number in an array that is nearest to target. An dynamic programming problem with memorization.
coding online assesment virtual onsite. interviewers were professional and helpful. asked to deep dive on project. recruiter was responsive and could align with offer deadlines. was helpful with negotiations. coding problems were average difficulty.
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
