I applied online. I interviewed at DoorDash (Austin, TX) in May 2023
Interview
I had a recruiter call with DoorDash and want other job hunters to beware. The new pay transparency laws have been very beneficial for me in looking for work aligned with my experience, but when speaking to the recruiter she told me that the ranges were basically just listed as goals and never actually granted. When asked, I said I was looking at the higher end of the pay range - she basically told me that what's posted is the highest offered for the band and they will not pay that because they want to promote within the band at least once. Expect the actual salary to be ~65% of the posted range. Also, there are no bonuses, only annual equity grants. I decided not to proceed with moving forward due to salary.

First a screening call with HR, then a take home analytical test, followed by two virtual panel interview rounds with 2-3 people each round. Some of the interviews were behavioral and some were analytical.

Interview
Had a recent interview process that started off fine but ended up feeling like a waste of time. The initial phone screen with the recruiter was positive (straightforward, professional, and gave me a good sense of the role).
But the hiring manager interview was… odd. They gave a quick rundown of the position, asked me one question (“tell me about your background”), and that was pretty much it. No real follow-up, no questions about my relevant experience, and no opportunity to actually talk about what I could bring to the role. It didn’t feel like a real interview - more like a box they had to check.
So I wasn’t surprised to hear I wasn’t moving forward. Just disappointed that there wasn’t any meaningful conversation or engagement. Felt like a missed opportunity all around.
