Lyft Software Engineer Internship interview questions

I applied online in early September and interviewed for the Level 5 internship, which I failed and was moved on to interview for the main team. Overall the process was quick besides when it took 3 weeks to hear back after my mock interview. The recruiters give feedback after your interviews if you ask. I feel as though my interviewers were more interested in me walking in and knowing the solution as opposed to me coming up with a solution from scratch. I say this because although for both interviews I cam up with the solution myself and wrote runnable code, after explaining my solution and went over examples with my code after I was done writing it up, my interviewers had feedback like "is slow in solving problems and should practice more on cs fundamentals". This confused me because the interviews have all been focused on you brainstorming solutions for the first few minutes until you arrive at the optimal solution and then after the optimal solution is found, you code up the solution and walk through it with examples, which I did. I just feel like they want memorized solutions and don't care how you get there. My two cents.

I applied online and was reached out to by a recruiter in about a week or so (didn't really keep track). Had my first phone screen and the interviewer was amazing! He acted like he wanted to be there (not common for tech interviews in my experience). Then moved onto final round 2 weeks later. Laptop challenge was confusing at first so I did my research before going in. They basically give you a problem, you go over it with your interviewer, then they cut you loose. You have around 45min to complete the coding challenge by yourself (with the interviewer muted or not present) and access to any and every resource you want granted you're using your own computer. Then the interviewer will come back, you explain your solution, and then wrap up with the typical ending with questions about the company. Then you have another 60 minute technical interview. Overall the final round was 3 hours, which was pretty brutal. My two interviewers were nice, but not as enthusiastic as the last guy so I thought I struggled a little bit with the personality/behavioral side of the interview. I think I got all the questions given correct (they run your code against test cases that you have to come up with on your own to sniff out the corner cases). They were easy/medium leetcode difficulty questions. But what really blew me out of the water was my recruiter. She responded quick and got me a decision in 2 days! Unreal!!
