At first, the phone screen was very generic - just talked about my work experience and recruiter dove in to ask about my last big project. Passed that easily
Then comes the video screen - 2 interviews, 30min case + 30min sql
Case
Doordash growth is higher than expected in 2019 from Jan - Mar then decreased significantly in April and May, how would you evaluate it?
a bit about my approach:
-In terms of factors affecting growth: 1. User acquisition 2. Demand 3. Demand and supply balance.
-Then I probably talked about a few metrics in each aspect: sign up rate by acquisition channels, the daily number of orders/user, number of orders within the first week after signup, etc.
-I also considered several factors: 1. poor user experience 2. New user promotions 3. Competitors entering market 4. Seasonality
I ended up rambling too much and i could have been more organized.
SQL - 30min 4 questions. the one i remember was estimating how difficult a delivery from a certain restaurant is.
I;m still waiting for results but i feel like i bombed it. hope this info helps those of you who are yet to interview.
How would you approach the case? iām really struggling with if i did it right
