QUESTION 3 OF 30

If hired by Doordash, can you estimate what portion of your day will involve coding and other activities you will perform when not coding?

This operational question is seeking to understand how you go about doing your job on a day-to-day basis. Operational questions will ask you about the processes you use to accomplish the tasks required by this position. The best way to answer operational questions is directly and briefly. The Doordash interviewer will ask you a follow-up question if they need more information or want to explore the topic in more detail.

"During a normal day, I spend about 60% of my time writing code. The remainder of the day is spent reviewing my work, meeting with my manager, collaborating with other coders on my team, and learning new coding technologies and methodologies."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I expect that about half of my work day will involve coding and the remainder of it will be meetings with the team and manager or business SMEs, maintaining the robots already in PROD. I would also anticipate spending some time say about 5 % in doing research and exploring new processes and tasks and new possibilities in automation.
