Engineering Manager Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
They took all rounds (including a post-interview director round). All rounds went well. Then, after ghosting me for a week, the recruiter finally replied to my email, saying that the job requirements have changed and they need to restart the process.
Pathetic experience. They don't know what they are doing. I will never interview with Lyft again; they have no value for others' time.
Questions
Process similar to any other tech firm.
