I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
Overall, the process was fast, yet disorganized. I got the sense that my interviewers couldn't wait to get out the room and into their next meeting. Each interviewer held onto their phone the entire time, and answered my questions without much detail. There are very talented people in San Francisco. Lyft, please be present and on-time to your interviews. It reflected very poorly on the company. Also, the front desk seems pretentious. I was confused by the lack of warmth and appreciation of the candidates time.

Interview
Went well - a few rounds that took a while. I would say too many structured questions. Did not feel personable. Everyone was really nice though! Questions were not very hard.

Interview
Painless, thorough and thoughtful process that went fairly quickly. Met with 4 other EBPS on the internal team as well as team members on the larger team that I was supporting
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Previous experience, goals, productivity, abiltity to prioritize
I saw the role online and as a frequent Lyft rider, decided to apply though I live across the country from the open opportunity. I had a phone interview with HR, and then a Google Hangout interview with three admins, two of which I'd be working closely with in the role. I felt the 1.5 hr video interview went pretty well, the first interviewer was quite honest and I felt we vibed, the second interviewer was a bit more stern, and the third was super easy. I received a pretty standard rejection email shortly thereafter, and when I asked for feedback I was told in a very general way that my background supporting 1-2 execs didn't align with the role (supporting a team)... this was evident from a glance at my resume, as well as my phone screen so the feedback felt a bit bogus to me. Just disappointing since I know I could do well in an Executive Business Partner role at Lyft.
