Who works at DoorDash corporate and can give me advice on interviewing? I have my first round of interviews for a S&O role next week. I know there’s mixed feelings about working there but I need this job and it pays well. I’m working a temp job now and I need something permanent. I do have tech startup experience. Advice and insight would be appreciated!

I can't see any harm in contacting them. You might get some good insider information from them about the company culture, management styles, and what to expect from the interview/hiring process.
If you were able to you should, but take good care to ascertain whether the feedback is genuine or from a failed employee. Also beware of over glowing positive feedback too.
A wonderful idea is when ex-employees will open up and tell you all the inside issues without hesitation with nothing to lose or gain.
Yes.
It'd be a good idea to get another opinion on someone, however also remember that while they may be managers, supervisors or what have you, they are also people with emotions. There are definitely some bad managers out there who are vengeful, untrustworthy and don't care about making people look bad. So, don't fully base your decision on what they say, use it as information to ask during the interview. For example, when you ask the manager a question about the interviewee, during the interview ask the person about his opinion on his previous job and how it went. Just try to connect the dots. But like I said, they may be managers, but they're not always professional. Good luck
Is this for an exit interview? What is your purpose and how long have they've been gone?
No, because misery loves company. I had my reasons for hating my former company,but no matter who asked about working there,I told them they could make a lot of money and each person's experience at that company was different and to make their own decisions.
You could try, but it's doubtful you'll get the information you want. Due to lawsuits, most companies no longer comment on former employees and only offer dates of employment. Why would you consider this? If you have a question, ask the person applying for the role. And keep in mind there are many reasons why people left a former role. I myself am an exceptional EA but came from a former company where I was 100% miserable, and it affected my performance. My intent is to say people leave jobs for many reasons, and it's often due to a horrible manager or toxic culture. Do you really trust that a manager in that type of firm is going to give someone a fair review?
Disregard my previous comment, I read the question wrong. However, it stands true people leave a firm for a lot of reasons that may not apply to your situation.
