Process
Standard phone screen with a LC hard and a debugging session with an engineer. It was an interesting process. Not too bad, but I just messed up some things on my end. After this stage, there is supposed to be a virtual onsite.

A good ride at DoorDash
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
February 5, 2025
Pros: I was able to join before the IPO. Although the stock dipped for a few years, it is back up to where we started. I'm optimistic that the market cap can continue to grow.
Cons: As the company has grown, it is no longer as agile as it used to be. Sometimes for good reason, to avoid large losses in revenue, but sometimes for no good reason, as when a solution is available but not adopted by development teams due to conflicting priorities and timelines.
