- Got the offer but declined. - Interview process was horribly slow without exaggeration. Took a solid 3 months from start (recruiter contacting me for first time) to finish (final offer letter after negotiation). This is despite me moving super quickly. This is despite having an offer in hand from two other big (F/A/N/G) companies. This is despite having "aced" the Lyft interviews as per the feedback from the hiring manager and recruiter. - The interview structure/format was standard. 7 on-sites in total, 45 mins each. A couple were system-design with white-boarding, rest were behavioral. - The other engineering managers interviewing me seemed very green/junior. Most looked bored/serious/disinterested. One of them constantly and openly yawned through the entire interview. None of them pitched the company. - The recruiter ended up completely ghosting me and I had to go through her manager to restart the process and was given a different recruiter who also went on radio silence often and had to be nudged frequently. - In the end, I didn't take the offer, given the poor impression I got of the recruitment process and uncertainty of their RSUs.

My interview experience with Lyft was nothing short of a nightmare. The interviewer showed up a whopping 10 minutes late without a hint of remorse or apology. As if that wasn't enough, she spent the next few minutes fumbling with her camera and adjusting herself, showing a complete lack of preparedness and professionalism. Once the interview finally started, it became painfully clear that the interviewer had no interest in being there. She sat back in her chair with an air of arrogance, as if she was doing me a favor by gracing me with her presence. Throughout the entire round, she couldn't even muster a single apology for her continuous yawnings, which made it nearly impossible for me to focus. Her lack of attention was palpable, as she asked the same mundane questions over and over again. It was abundantly clear that she couldn't care less about what I had to say. This experience left me utterly disheartened and disgusted. I had hoped to find a supportive and collaborative environment at Lyft, but instead, I was met with disrespect and disdain. Encountering such a toxic individual has made me seriously question whether I would even want to be associated with a company that tolerates such behavior. Experiencing this kind of treatment by Lyft for prospective employees, I made up my mind to drop.
