Process

I was referred through a friend for the Seattle office. The recruiter, Jen, was prompt and transparent throughout the process. I cannot say enough good things about her.

I started out with a phone screen with an engineer in SF. The in-person loop was short, and the recruiter will tell you who's on the loop ahead of time. I had one applied coding question where you code for an hour on your laptop (or Lyft provides one) with internet access, one architecture question, one algorithm question on the whiteboard, and a lunch in between.

Super smart people, very interesting problems, and a great office space.
