Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Stages:
- Prescreening: Project to be completed before the interview
- Phone Screening: Talk about the project
- Onsite interview
Onsite interview was very practical. There were no questions about inverting a binary search tree or any puzzlers. Each interview had a different focus, and most related to the project you did before coming on-site.
Overall, the experience was great. From the interactions with the frontend team members, I really got an understanding of how passionate the teams are about frontend technologies, company culture, and the products they build here at DoorDash.
Questions
Live coding: add a feature to the project.
