      Software Engineer Interview

      29 Jan 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      They contacted me by email and scheduled a phone call with a recruiter. There was a misunderstood with the time, so we had to reschedule the call (I read this also happened to someone else). After this call I had a 45 minutes technical call with one of their engineers, we had an interesting conversation about the role and the company. Finally, they asked me to do a homework task, which was supposed to take 2 days and I did it. I'm really used to build mobile apps, I've been working as iOS developer for over 5 years, and I've built several apps featured on the appstore, so the task was quite easy to implement. I was really confident with the solution I implemented, but after 5 days they just told me they were not moving forward with my application. Exactly the same I read in other comments. It's fine if you don't get hired, I'm sure there must he great engineers appliying for the same position, but they should at least give you a useful feedback about why you're not the proper candidate. Read all the comments before applying, otherwise you will waste so much time for nothing... Uber does much better on this.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      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.
