I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
First there was a take home assignment, then there was a phone interview, followed by a round of 5 in person interviews (four forty-five minute interviews and one thirty minute interview). The take home assignment required one to work with data to complete an assigned task. The phone interview was mainly to talk about the work that was done on the take home assignment: one's approach and things one could have done differently/better.

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 interviewed with a recruiter last fall. Since I was graduating in eight months, she said she'd talk to the hiring manager about whether to send technical interviews now or hold off for different openings in the future, and would get back to me in a few days. She never followed up and didn't respond to my emails. Eventually, I got an automated rejection, the subject line literally read "Update on [insert job title]," they hadn't even bothered to fill in the job title. The whole process felt unprofessional.
