I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Lyft (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2019
Interview
The interview process was fast and seamless. The process began with a homework assignment with different scenarios. Once that step was completed and I "passed", I had an over the phone interview with one of the recruiters. She was so nice and helpful through this process. Next, I had an on-site interview with the entire recruiting team. This was a little over 2 hours long but I was offered the job same day.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
There was one thirty-minute phone interview with a contract recruiter and four back-to-back in-person interviews with the hiring team that consisted of scheduling exercises and situational questions. One of them was with the hiring manager and most were with potential peers.
I applied online and received an initial interview offer within a couple of days. The recruiter requested to reschedule on short notice (2 hours before the interview) and I happily accommodated a new time. Not sure why the recruiter had a very defensive attitude, asked irrelevant questions, and just seemed disinterested in the candidate's qualifications or work experience. Didn't even ask about my previous experience with recruiting specifically or why I chose to apply to the company. I probably asked the recruiter more questions about their experience and the company culture than they asked me. Just looks highly unprofessional on the company's end.
