Applied online. Received a message from the recruiter indicating that there is interest. Phone screen involved a medium level LeetCode question. After that I was offered an on-site interview. Round 1: Talk with the manager, describe your experiences, weaknesses, strengths and a lot of similar behavioral questions Round 2: 1.5 hour laptop interview -> solve a problem, zip up your solution to be graded by another person and the engineer conducting the interview Round 3: Typical whiteboard coding interview, medium LeetCode level Round 4: Design Interview Round 5: Design Interview focusing on Security Lyft is the only big company that I interviewed at that gave a very detailed feedback on how you did. In my case, I did well in all the rounds, except the laptop interview. The engineer expected me to know what a trie data structure and use it to solve the problem. I went with a combination of sorted dictionary and binary search which is not optimal when dealing with strings

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
