I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Lyft
Interview
Multiple rounds of interviews (3+ month), hard coding problems you would expect, system design - common problems, but their unique virtual whiteboard format.
After passing all interviews, turned out no team was interested.
It feels like they aren't really hiring, just "showing some activity" which is to be expected in 2025. It felt like the engineers sometimes knew that the hiring isn't really happening: some left the interview and returned only at the very end to ask to submit the problem, some were surprisingly open about the office politics going on and how they managed to get the credit for someone's work, why people are leaving at certain office locations, etc.
Good interview practice, likely bad time to interview.

Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Lyft
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.
