I’m honestly really disappointed with my experience interviewing at DoorDash. A recruiter initially reached out to me on LinkedIn about the role, shared the job description, and encouraged me to apply. After applying, I had an initial recruiter call, then an interview with the hiring manager, then was asked to complete a case study with a 48-hour turnaround. From there, I moved into a panel of four cross-functional interviews (one of which was rescheduled twice). That’s a significant amount of time and effort to invest in a process, which I was happy to do because I was genuinely interested in the opportunity. What’s frustrating is the lack of communication throughout the process. The recruiter provided very little proactive communication, and after my final interview nearly two weeks ago, I’ve been completely ghosted even after following up for an update. I completely understand not being selected; that happens. But after asking a candidate to commit multiple rounds, a case study, and hours of prep, the bare minimum is communicating an outcome. The silence feels disrespectful and left a really poor impression.

the interview was a total of 3 rounds (HR, Hiring manager, and Head of the team) . There was a takehome case study and SQL for 2 days before meeting with the hiring manager.
