I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
Interview process was good. HR was quick and responsive. Went through a phone screening, followed by a technical interview and homework assignment.
Phone screening was pretty basic and a run down of my resume.
In the technical round, the interviewer was friendly and polite. Was asked how I would approach finding a solution for a driver-based problem.
Homework assignment was pretty straight forward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the different factors that could influence a rise in average wait time of a driver.
I interviewed with a recruiter last fall. Since I was graduating in eight months, she said she'd talk to the hiring manager about whether to send technical interviews now or hold off for different openings in the future, and would get back to me in a few days. She never followed up and didn't respond to my emails. Eventually, I got an automated rejection, the subject line literally read "Update on [insert job title]," they hadn't even bothered to fill in the job title. The whole process felt unprofessional.
“I completed all interview rounds — including HR, technical screening, product sense, business case, algorithm live coding, decisions live coding, machine learning, and experience interviews — but the company ultimately selected another candidate
