I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at DoorDash (Austin, TX) in Mar 2025
Interview
Recruiter was late and rude about the questions I asked. She couldn’t even answer simple questions on like the expectation for hybrid and where the office was at. “I’m not from the area so I thought you would know. I’ll let you determine that,” was the response I got.
She doesn’t even understand what CFTs were. When I answered her question, she said that doesn’t answer my question. What she was really looking for was the word EXTERNAL stakeholder. Pay was also similar to what I’m getting now and I’m fully remote!
I told them that their pay range was not aligned to what I’m looking for and ended the call.

Question 1
Can you explain to me when you had to interact with different CFTs
Started off with a 20 minute recruiter call, and then a 48-hour turnaround take-home case study. Two 30-minute interviews after with a senior manager on different teams. One to talk about strategic thinking, and the other to review your case study. Final round with greater team.
The process starts with a standard recruiting screen where you learn about the role and discuss your potential fit with the recruiter. Then you complete a two day take home exercise based on a data set that they provide.
