I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2018
Interview
Passed the phone screen which was easy then invited to onsite. When I arrived I noticed the majority of engineers were Indian men and attractive Asian women. I wonder why? Anyway I did mostly ok in the interview, but one Indian guy gave me a coding question and before I started I told him how I was going to solve it, he said sure go ahead, and after I was done he then tells me it was no good since it was not efficient enough. Well then why did he say my solution was ok in the first place?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (Toronto, ON) in May 2026
Interview
My experience wasn’t great with Lyft.
During my system design interview, my interviewer kept silent most of the time.
No communication, and he seems to end my interview session as soon as possible.
Be careful about this
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Process is good. Not too exhaustive and they respond quickly. Recruiters are great too. I cleared all my interviews and I am in team matching since a very long time. Lyft does not give you an offer even after clearing interviews.
