I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I was referred by a friend who works at Lyft. Had 3 phone interviews (after I didn't do super well in the second), and then an onsite. I really really like Lyft, I think it's a great company with really friendly people and I enjoyed the interview process. It was hard to decline the offer!!
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.
