the interview process was very straight forward but it took a while. A few rounds and a case study nothing crazy. i ended up not getting an offer but overall a fine experience

Horrible 3-month process. 1. 3 phone interviews 2. In-depth case study, to be presented in interviews 3. 4 thirty-minute in-person interviews where I did not even get to present my case study work Was not given an offer and never received any feedback. I strongly believe they used the case study to get free consulting and ideas. They are no holier than their competitor.

Phone screens, work sample, onsite. Everyone was really friendly, patient, and smart: it felt like I left the day with a solid understanding of what day to day in the role might be like. The stakeholders I spoke to would be the ones I'd likely work with day to day. At no point did I feel intimidated: everything was pretty informal. I appreciated the extent to which the interview was "talk me through how you would solve this current problem within lyft" and "tell me about a time when..." (past experience). I've often found companies over-index one way or the other. They also put a few questions in there related to solving questions outside of the context of lyft. My only frustration was the scheduling: it was 4 hours of interviewing with 6 people, and there wasn't a single five minute break or breather in between. The last section was with someone from a data team, and while the questions were unbelievably straightfwd in retrospect, my brain was fried from all of the context switching and I know I did a lousy job.
