Entrevista
I was referred through a friend for the Seattle office. The recruiter, Jen, was prompt and transparent throughout the process. Cannot say enough good things about her.
Started out with a phone screen with an engineer in SF. The in-person loop was short, and the recruiter will tell you who's on the loop ahead of time. I got one applied coding question where you code for an hour on your laptop (or Lyft provides one) with internet access, one architecture question, one algorithm question on the whiteboard, and a lunch in between.
Super smart people, very interesting problems and great office space.
Jumping into the technical phone screen, I was pleasantly surprised when the interviewer asked me to design a driver-rider matching service, something I had just practiced in-depth on PracHub. The prep I did really paid off, as I navigated the complexities of indexing live driver locations and addressing high write rates with confidence. The full virtual onsite included two coding rounds and a system design question, along with behavioral interviews. While I appreciated the opportunity, I ultimately declined the offer for different reasons unrelated to the team. The overall experience was intense but rewarding.

Entrevista
the process is pretty straightforward. first recruiter screen, tech screen, and then onsite (system design, behavioral, and laptop). you may or may not meet the manager of the team you are interviewing for during the onsite behavioral. the laptop round is basically OOD.

Pregunta 1
tech screen is leetcode specific, system design is OOD related, and behavioral has bunch of questions instead of talking about one specific projects.
