I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in June 2016
Interview
Process was relatively long. I was recommended by an engineer there who also introduced me to the Hiring Manager. After meeting I had a take-home challenge, followed by two technical phone screens. I finally got invited onsite. Onsite interviews were really tough, focused on probabilistic modeling.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe how to engineer the heatmap telling drivers where to go. How do you define which area will have high demand next and who do you want to go there?
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
