Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at DoorDash.
Associate Manager
The interview process consisted of 3 rounds. It began with a recruiter screen. Then, there was a take-home assignment that was quite time-consuming and needed to be completed within 2 days. Following that, I had a second round with the manager for the position and another senior team member. I didn't make it to the final round, which would have involved two more interviews with a senior leader and a cross-functional partner. The overall experience was just okay, and they couldn't provide feedback because of their 'company policy'.

CRM Manager
My interview process started off fine—I met with the recruiter, who then passed me along to the hiring manager. Next came the assignment, which was not only vague but also identical to one I had been given for a completely different position a few years ago. Despite this, I put my best effort into creating a deck filled with strategies I’ve successfully implemented in the past. Unfortunately, I was later informed that they wouldn’t be moving forward with my candidacy. To make matters worse, I was told, "It is against our company policy to provide specific feedback." While I was proud of what I submitted, I can’t help but second-guess myself now, wondering what went wrong. It’s frustrating—and honestly, not a great look for the company—to take the time to gather strategies and insights from a candidate without offering even a hint of feedback on why their work didn’t make the cut. This experience has made me more thoughtful about the kind of companies I want to work with. Transparency, respect for a candidate’s time, and constructive feedback are essential to building trust, even during the hiring process. Moving forward, I’ll prioritize organizations that not only align with my skills but also value open communication throughout the journey.

Site Manager
The process was well organized and consisted of 3 separate stages. There was a data analysis/Excel component that took about an hour, which could be completed at your own pace. The interview stages focused on applying current management experience to the role, as well as demonstrating technical, analytical and people leadership expertise.
