I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
The technical phone screen was fully utilized to get a good sense of Lyft as a product and all the stats/probability questions were all also asked keeping in mind Lyft use cases.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1.Product sense, metrics and KPI design (read up on Lyft as a product from their blogs)
2. Stats and probability- definitely brush up your basics on different probability distributions (binomial), confidence intervals and significance, p-values, Bayesian inference etc.
3. Experiment design and analysis process
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
