Process
I applied online.
The process included a technical round covering SQL and Python, followed by a loop that included behavioral questions, system design, and data modeling. The SQL and Python questions were at the LeetCode level. The loop focused on case studies related to DoorDash kind of products and consisted of four rounds.
Questions
Medium-level SQL and Python.
