Process

It's a very long process that Lyft makes you go through, but I applied on LinkedIn and had a 30-minute conversation with my recruiter.

After that, I moved on to a pre-screen interview that lasted an hour (they had me build an LCD clock in React with CSS).

Then, once I got the green light, I was scheduled for a 5-hour "on-site" interview process that included:

  • 2 coding challenges
  • 1 architecture process
  • 1 behavioral analysis interview
  • 1 algorithm/build an app from scratch

The final part is left to a hiring committee that decides your fate, level, and compensation package.

Questions

You sign an NDA, but generally for frontend, it's very important to know the fundamentals (both core and advanced) of Javascript and CSS for code tests. These are skill tests in vanilla JavaScript and ReactJS.

I also think it's very important that you know how to create and explain algorithms within the context of an application, rather than from a LeetCode or HackerRank perspective, as my interview was not what I expected.
