      Operations Strategy Specialist Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Lyft in July 2016

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Lyft

      Interview

      Overall, very straight-forward. Great recruiter communication throughout. The process includes: 1. 30-minute Phone screen with interviewer 2 weeks after submitting resume online 2. 90-minute online analytics exam (Excel, GMAT-style data analysis) - I didn't pass 3. Case study with hiring manager

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. What differentiates Lyft from the other companies you are recruiting with 2. When did you challenge the status quo 3. Tell me about a time you used data analysis to solve a problem 4. Rate your SQL skills 1-5 5. Analytics exam: difficult to prepare for the GMAT questions as they are Lyft-specific, but remember to use logic to break-down the question into its components and then solve. I got flustered due to the exam's use of industry-specific terminology, but if you approach methodically, should be fine.
      Answer question

      Interview

      I applied on the company website and received an email from a recruiter about two weeks later. She asked no questions at all but set up a time for me to do a hangout with another Operations Strategy Specialist. While he was personable it seemed he had very little experience with conducting an interview which led to a very patchy and at times awkward interview. One of the things I found most surprising was how often he talked about Uber. It was almost as if he was trying to convince me of Lyft's legitimacy. He talked alot about Uber's valuation being higher than that of Lyft leading to Uber having to do more to justify that valuation. Overall it was a very bizarre interview, and not in an interesting or stimulating way. Perhaps it would be best to work on interview skills for those who will be conducting them as well as having professionals conduct a few of them.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What are the differences between the rider experience with Uber and Lyft? What do you think the differences are as a driver?
