Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso DoorDash (New York, NY)
Colloquio
Process was okay but unnecessarily long to me. First spoke with a recruiter - Then had two interviews a behavioral and a case - Next round was a case where I had to present a presentation to a panel of three (ended up not making it past this point) was told I'd have another round of interviews after, if I was successful with the presentation. Having a marathon type interview approach (weeks worth of interviews) is pretty ineffective in my opinion. Please find a better way to identify and court talent. The process certainly dampened the excitement of joining DoorDash. I also was surprised at the lack of diversity when being interviewed (which made me not very surprised when I was passed up) it can be hard to hire diverse talent when the interviewers have similar backgrounds and are looking for a certain "profile." First time in a long time where I've witnessed so little diversity in the interview process.
Overall Impression - Not sure if I would have accepted had I received the offer. I spoke to a few nice people but also interacted with one or two "stuck up" individuals. I'm sure the work would have been cool but if the people aren't than company culture can be a challenge. Clearly I wasn't the right fit. Best of luck to anyone else looking to interview.

Stardard at first - manager call, case study, etc.
Final rounds were bizzare - the recruiter provided actively unhelpful information and questions were incredibly specific for a generalist role (think Amazon-style "tell me about a time when..." but with no associated leadership principles)

Colloquio
Great phone screen with recruiter, followed by a data analysis case study, followed by two interviews (one behavioral, one case) with a peer and the hiring manager.
During the case interview, the hiring manager was in a dark room, wearing a baseball cap, and had the camera angled so that I couldn't see them, which felt like I was maybe participating in a psychology experiment. Their description of the job also did not match what the recruiter told me they were looking for. The level of corporate jargon they used when describing the position was so off the charts I had to stifle a laugh.

Colloquio
Recruiter reached out to me and scheduled an intro call. Followed by time-consuming take home analytics exercise. Followed by 3 more interviews that focus on leadership, behavioral, and functional expertise (basic questions about improving delivery times based on reducing waiting times and delivery times, how to get dashers more tips).
The functional expertise interviewer (which is the most important interview) was conducted by a Manager aka someone with less experience than the myself, the interviewee. That makes no sense. The questions she asked very extremely specific and awkward. She lost track of time and was unable to ask all the questions she wanted to. If a more experienced interviewer ran the interview it would have been less awkward and efficiently run. Despite everything I mentioned, I performed well and was able to answer her questions.
The behavioral interviewer was rather disconnected and rapidly asked questions in a courteous manner.
The leadership interview was great and seemed invested.
DoorDash champions diverse backgrounds. But get this...all of my my interviewers were from Uber...not so diverse doordash.
Lastly, they want to expand in pharma but don't know the difference between pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies...
Anyways, I didnt hear back from them after a week so I followed up a received a rejection.
I was warned about all the negatives mentioned above (lack of experienced talent, no industry specific expertise, no diversity). I was also warned about the poor culture, work life balance, & poor company outlook. And they nailed every single one. Now I understand why.

We are losing money on deliveries. How do we fix that?
How do we improve delivery times? How do we improve fulfillment times?
