Process
I passed Google's interview fairly easily, but failed a phone screen coding challenge at Lyft. I failed because I was unfamiliar with the API and needed some hints. The coding challenge itself was easy and straightforward, given knowledge of the API. I was also a little nervous and made silly mistakes, which I was able to correct.
IMHO, Lyft needs to rethink how they judge performance in these coding phone screens, but of course, I'm biased :)
