I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
The interview process was about 5 weeks long, but the recruiter and hiring manager were encouraging, responsive and as speedy as they could be. I had a phone screen, interview with hiring manager, one on-site for 30-min back-to-backs, then a take-home project, and a final on-site to present the project.
Lyft had the most polished and easy to understand interview process - from communications with the recruiter to the final on-sites.
Questions were mostly behavioral.

Interview
I applied online and shortly thereafter a recruiter reached out to schedule an initial phone screen with the hiring manager. Our conversation went well, so from there we rescheduled a first round of onsite interviews with various members of the team. The feedback was positive so I was given a prompt for an assignment that I presented as part of a second round of onsite interviews.

Question 1
What are examples of brands or products that you feel have been successful/unsuccessful in their product marketing efforts?
Fast, transparent, clear. This is what an interview process should be like. I know what the next steps were every step of the way and was never left in the dark.
1st step: call with recruiter, scheduled a follow- up with hiring manager same day.
2nd step: call with hiring manager same week and was immediately contacted for an onsite.
3rd step: had to schedule video chats since i was abroad. Met virtually with 4 different people.
Found out 2 days after virtual chat about the final decision.
