I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
There were eight interviews, all one-to-one, including four over skype/phone and four done face to face. In the middle of those there was a 90 minute online numerical/written/logic test (with excel data to download and analyse, then answer a bunch of statistical questions and insights, plus writing portions ranging from one line to a few paragraphs) and a one hour presentation (that I had to prepare over the course of a few days and make to an executive).

Question 1
The regulations in a state have changed the way we have to onboard drivers, mandating that the company gets vehicles formerly appraised by a licensed center. All vehicles have to be re-appraised and vehicles have to be periodically re-appraised by the center. How would you set this up? Other questions were like this - based on real world experience with Lyft and requiring high level (not too detailed) operational plans.
Recruiter was informative and straightforward, offered tips and insight on how to succeed. The interview process itself was 4 rounds. The first was with the hiring manager and the other two were with team mates or counterparts. Each interview was 30 mins all on the same day
