- [Machine Learning Engineer — DoorDash, Sep 2026](https://www.aced.io/experiences/doordash-machine-learning-engineer-interview-d3b9ac?returnPath=%2Fexperiences): “The overall process is okay. Although there were multiple interview rescheduling for the onsite. I feel I did not do well for the ML System Design round. The question was asking how to design a chat bot for merchants, which is something I did not prep for. They would ask you to draw out design, how to make modeling choices, and etc. Pretty detailed oriented so be prepared to speak on many of that fronts.” — 3 rounds, 1 question.
- [Data Scientist — DoorDash, Jan 2025](https://www.aced.io/experiences/doordash-data-scientist-interview-7e8fae?returnPath=%2Fexperiences): **Verified**, 3 rounds, 4 questions. “The SQL interviewer literally stopped me mid-explanation and said, ‘We’re not interested in your explanation. My job is just to make sure you get the right answer,’ which honestly made the whole DoorDash process feel a lot like Meta.”
- [Software Engineer — DoorDash, Sep 2026](https://www.aced.io/experiences/doordash-software-engineer-interview-b3414f?returnPath=%2Fexperiences): 2 rounds, 2 questions. “A total of 5 rounds, starting with phone screen where a dsa problem was given and candidate expected to write the code from scratch and run it, this was elimination round. Followed by bug bash, lld, hld (+ behavioual rounds) Process was smooth, some interviewers were not attentive but overall good experience.”
