The DoorDash Coding Interview

What are people saying about DoorDash's Interview

PROS

Great company culture and company benefits. Fast developing company with great leaders. Good location.
The best thing about DoorDash is the people. Furthermore, as an engineer, I love technical challenges, and given the amount of scale the company persevered through in the past year – DoorDash is certainly not shy of them.
You get to pick your hours and work on your own time.

CONS

Work / life balance is not so great though it really depends on your team.
Bad team management. Lack of diversity and inclusion. Folks are just there till their money vests.
Typical struggles of exponential growth – habits of doing things in a non-scalable way which should change with maturity.

What DoorDash employees have to say about interviewing?

"In general, I advise not to go with a brute force approach as a final solution. In every case where there is an optimal solution with significant complexity improvement, a typical brute force solution will result in a low score for the problem. "
