I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft in Nov 2023
Interview
A quick call with the recruiter, followed by a technical round having all the probability and product questions, A/B test questions . I thought the interview went very well since the interviewer also sounded like he agrees with the answers. I gave the interview at odd times since I was in a different timezone at that time. I did not even receive any update even after following up with the recruiter multiple times.
Tackling a case involving a significant drop in monthly active riders kicked off the technical round, which felt quite intense. Then there was a probability question about commuter ride behavior, followed by an experiment design challenge focusing on marketplace balance. The behavioral portion was equally rigorous. Overall, it took about five weeks. Funny enough, I had spent the previous weekend pouring through the case-study section on PracHub, and it really helped me feel prepared. In the end, the process was tough but rewarding, and I’m glad to say I accepted the offer.

Interview
The first round is good, but the second round they asked me something about conditional probability, and ask you to solve a real problem within some time. It made me feel nervous, with two people staring at you
I applied online. I interviewed at Lyft (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2026
Interview
They scheduled an screening interview and then scheduled for a technical data science interview mostly on experimentation and stats + prob. They sent a blog about the interview which is basically about how to answer their questions.
