I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (Palo Alto, CA) in July 2017
Interview
There was an initial technical phone screen involving a coding challenge followed by a second technical phone screen involving another coding challenge. I was able to complete the first challenge, and expected that the second one would pertain more to the role description than it did. I wasn't really asked any questions related to the skills I that I have in my background that were relevant to the role described in the job posting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The recruiter had said that the interview challenge revolve around api development. Instead, they asked me to implement k nearest neighbor using a quad tree.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Lyft
Interview
The first round is good, but the second round they asked me something about conditional probability, and ask you to solve a real problem within some time. It made me feel nervous, with two people staring at you
I applied online. I interviewed at Lyft (Toronto, ON) in June 2026
Interview
They scheduled an screening interview and then scheduled for a technical data science interview mostly on experimentation and stats + prob. They sent a blog about the interview which is basically about how to answer their questions.
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.
