Status: 8 years Experience
Position: M.S C.S student
Location: N/A

Phone screen (1 hour):
Leetcode Medium DFS problem. Solved it and was moved to Virtual Onsite

Onsite (4 rounds 1 hour each):

Round 1 [System design]:
Straight foward system design that is present on G.T.S.D and YT videos

Round 2 [System design]:
Completely new question, even the interviewer said he was asking it for the first time.

Round 3 [Laptop test]:
Surprisingly simple laptop test, build a basic system with two methods. Did not include test cases ( not sure if its a plus point)

Round 4 [Manager]:
Past work experience, projects worked on, team questions, etc.

Got a reject two weeks after the Virtual onsite, had my hopes high thinking that since they hadn't got back for two weeks must be a good thing else would have rejected me earlier itself - turns out they waited two weeks to reject me.

Lyft is one of the easier FAANG like firms to get through becase their interview process is simpler and straight forward.
