I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview process took nearly 2 months. I constantly had to follow up with my recruiter who would give me a time frame, but then that time frame was never met. I was told verbally I’d be receiving an offer several times and that they were checking references and finalizing pay. I waited patiently 2 weeks from the time I was told I would receive and offer. I even got a call from my recruiter saying that she just needed one more day and that she thinks I’ll be happy with the offer. The next day came and I heard nothing. Finally got a call the following day from my recruiter telling that there would be no offer.
They have no regard or respect for my time during the whole interview process. Their reason as to why they declined was that they wanted more senior people, when they actually are the ones who decided they thought I’d be a better fit for the second position. Please make sure they are very clear with you from the jump otherwise you will waste weeks of your valuable time.
good candidate experience overall - very informative and led the process well. Kept updated and informed. Got to meet multiple people and learn more about the team and the structure.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft in Feb 2022
Interview
Hands down the worst interview experience and I was an employee referral. Had an enjoyable recruiting screen on Thursday and was told my interview process would be expedited due to my high candidacy. Submitted my availability, asked for the final interview panel information, and did not hear from the recruiter for 10 days. Submitted availability again, silence for a few days, then my interviews were suddenly scheduled with less than 24 hours notice. I had offers already and wanted to complete these interviews asap as it was taking longer than stated. I still did not have the names/titles of the interview panel. The recruiter called three hours before my interview for "prep". Completed the interviews. On the same day, the recruiter said there's a strong likelihood (wink wink) that I'll get the position and will call me with the team's decision within four business days. Two weeks later the recruiter sent a curt email explaining the delay and that a decision will be made shortly. I never heard from the recruiter or anyone at Lyft again. After this experience, I use Uber.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview questions were not difficult. It was difficult to properly prep due to confusion around interview dates and interview panel.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Lyft (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2021
Interview
The interviews were remote which is understandable during the pandemic. However the interviewer, who would have been the direct manager showed up late, wearing a tank top and was not engaging at all. Very unprofessional.
