I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Lyft (Houston, TX)
Interview
Big faang type of interview. First round was sql. I recommend using leetcode, once you get good at the medium difficulty questions you are ready. The next steps would of been python and then most likely system design.

Question 1
Sql based question where you had 2 tables. There were 2 questions in total.
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.
