DD recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn and setup an interview with a hiring manager. The "interview" was very similar to the experience many of the reviewers have shared here. The person barely introduced himself. He was rude and borderline hostile from the get go. He was difficult to understand and very incoherent, but it was obvious from his attitude that asking for clarification was not an option. Ten minutes into the process, I came to the conclusion that even if they gave me an offer on the spot, this company culture is not worthy of my consideration and exited the call.

I applied online. I interviewed at DoorDash (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2026
Interview
1. First round of interview was 30 min SQL (very easy) + a case study
2. Second round had 3 case studies and one cross functional interview
Interviewers were kind. 2 of the case studies were straight forward, one was very ambiguous.

Question 1
experimentation, metrics, diagnosis, LTV, Opportunity sizing in an ambiguous setting were you can't run experiment and you have to make a lot of assumptions to navigate through the ambiguity.
I applied online and after about a week, I received an email from the recruiter with a 15-question questionnaire. The next day, they scheduled a 1-hour interview consisting of a 30-minute case study and 30-minute SQL round.
I spent significant time preparing and felt the interview went well. However, I received a rejection within 15 minutes after the interview ended.
Honestly, the process felt discouraging. It almost seemed like the interview was conducted more for internal interviewer training than genuine hiring consideration.
If you're interviewing there, I’d suggest treating it mainly as practice and interview experience rather than getting overly invested in the outcome.
