      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and after discussions I was setup for a phone interview using coderpad. The phone interview had 1 each of SQL and python questions which I managed to solve with a few hiccups. I was then setup for onsite which had 5 rounds and lunch with a team member. Onsite 1st round - General discussion about my profile and started off with leetcode problem. I partially finished but could complete since ran out of time. Lunch time - Waited for the team member who was supposed to take me for lunch but he never turned up and I missed the lunch. 2nd round - SQL coding on MacBook with MySQL session. The interviewer was busy with Facebook and didn't know or answer any of my clarifications. All 3 queries went unanswered since I didn't get the clarifications and was not sure what to expect. 3rd round - Came in and introduced himself and started with the behavioural round and asked about previous work experience. 4th round - System design round, was asked to design a distributed system with failover considered. 5th round - Lyft use case for designing a dimension model. Overall less than average onsite interview and as expected didn't get the offer.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Lyft (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Too many detailed Interview steps (7 interviews, each 30-90 mins), and at the end, they didn't provide any feedback or response for about 4 weeks, even though I reached out multiple times, I didn't get any response back. eventually they just sent me automated response that job is close. Later, I asked for any feedback for points I was failing, and again didn't get any response.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      design of Lyft driver-rider data models. design of backend API to serve as the endpoint for real time driver request data processing.
