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.

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)
