I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft in May 2020
Interview
Did their phone interview and onsite. The phone interview was a series of tasks within an Android app, implementing incremental features.
The virtual onsite (for covid-19 times) involved a couple of non-technical interviews, plus a 2.5h session where you implement an app, with minimal oversight from the interviewer. The interviewer actually leaves the chat and lets you work alone.
I assume that I failed the technical aspect of the onsite because they never contacted me again after the interviews ended. It's been a month and I've since accepted an offer from a different company.
