I applied online. I interviewed at Lyft in Oct 2017
Interview
There was an initial HR phone screen about background etc. plus an 1h online coding interview. For the coding part they pretty much expect you to just code it without even thinking.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given a web server log file (list of timestamp, verb, uri, status code). Print a report showing the count per unique verb-uri-code plus the number of active users (taken from the uri)
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.
