Case Study and SQL round:
Let me start by saying that I don't know yet if I am getting through to the next round.
There were no concerns about the case study section. Just that when I asked about the company culture, the first thing they said was that everyone works independently. Take what you must from that.
Next was the 30-minute live coding in SQL. There is no functionality provided to run your own code during the interview. In one of the questions, I was asked to calculate and report two metrics using two different tables. The interviewer does mention that they look for logic and not just syntax. However, expecting someone to imagine the data and perform a complex analysis does not really test the candidate's skills, only makes them nervous. One would think that, being a large company, they would be able to afford software that lets their candidates run their own code during an interview, testing their complete ability to understand data and generate insights from it. But maybe they are just looking for robots who can spew lines of code. It did not seem like an efficient way to test prospective talent.

I applied online and after about a week, I received an email from the recruiter with a 15-question questionnaire. The next day, they scheduled a 1-hour interview consisting of a 30-minute case study and 30-minute SQL round.
I spent significant time preparing and felt the interview went well. However, I received a rejection within 15 minutes after the interview ended.
Honestly, the process felt discouraging. It almost seemed like the interview was conducted more for internal interviewer training than genuine hiring consideration.
If you're interviewing there, I’d suggest treating it mainly as practice and interview experience rather than getting overly invested in the outcome.

Good thing they don't have recruiter screening. The first step is SQL (30 mins) followed by case study (30 mins). Looks like they just interview for the sake of training their employees. Literally waste of time preparing for Doordash. I reading all the reviews about toxic work culture. I should have taken it easy. The recruiters just give 1 min intro.
I have completed all the SQL questions and even explained them to the recruiter. Case study also went well but I have received rejection within 3 hrs. Its disspointing that I spent whole week preparing for it even after reading the reviews.
