I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2016
Interview
My process was extremely positive. Everyone was so nice and wanted to really get to know me. It was a challenging process but fair and so interesting. 6-7 interviews, an analytics test, and a final presentation with a model I had to build for it. They tested my strategic thinking, analytical skills, ability to envision/analyze product originations and critical thinking on the operations of a current product. Gave me a great taste of all types of things I'm working on now. The recruiters were super helpful and amazing throughout the whole process!

We're considering this new product X and you are in charge of presenting to the CEO on whether or not it is a good initiative for the company to pursue. How would this analysis/presentation look like?
Standard interview process. Recruiter>hiring manager>panel
Recruiter to make sure you had a pulse and weren't lying.
Hiring manager to see if you're what they're looking for.
Panel was three people. Two were peers from other markets, one from a cross-functional partner. Basically checking cultural fit.
Average difficulty, also included take home test. There were 3 round of interviews that included a presentation of take home test. Everyone was friendly and answered all questions I had
The interview was timely, professional, to the point, the interviewer discussed the salary up front to avoid wasting anyone's time or efforts. Overall it was a very beneficial friendly discussion
