Interview
I applied online and was reached out to by a recruiter in about a week or so (didn't really keep track). Had my first phone screen and the interviewer was amazing! He acted like he wanted to be there (not common for tech interviews in my experience). Then moved onto final round 2 weeks later. Laptop challenge was confusing at first so I did my research before going in. They basically give you a problem, you go over it with your interviewer, then they cut you loose. You have around 45min to complete the coding challenge by yourself (with the interviewer muted or not present) and access to any and every resource you want granted you're using your own computer. Then the interviewer will come back, you explain your solution, and then wrap up with the typical ending with questions about the company. Then you have another 60 minute technical interview. Overall the final round was 3 hours, which was pretty brutal. My two interviewers were nice, but not as enthusiastic as the last guy so I thought I struggled a little bit with the personality/behavioral side of the interview. I think I got all the questions given correct (they run your code against test cases that you have to come up with on your own to sniff out the corner cases). They were easy/medium leetcode difficulty questions.
But what really blew me out of the water was my recruiter. She responded quick and got me a decision in 2 days! Unreal!!

Interview
After submitting the application online, I recieved email from Lyft that required me to answer some questions. Then, recieved an invitation to a byteboard interview. The byteboard interview consists of two parts. First part is reading a document and add your comments. Second part is implementation of a program related to the first part.
