Lyft Data Science Interview

The interview process starts with a phone interview with a Data Scientist. It is around an in depth conversation about your resume and past projects. That interview is followed by a take home test which is usually around a ride sharing data set. As part of the take home test, there is a presentation which has to be created for the onsite interview. The onsite interview consists of 4–5 interviews. One of those is presentation of the take home test. It also includes a SQL test, stats and probability and business case. There is a final core values interview to know if you fit within the Lyft culture. The interview is challenge but the reward when you clear the interview is totally worth it.

The Data Science team at Lyft moves very quickly. The Data sets are huge and problems so wide in nature that the team explores different types of models which can provide higher precision for same recall and feature set. The questions reflect the tough problems which the team faces day to day. There is a mix of model building along with complex coding questions. As I mentioned before the interviews are tough but they are well worth it for getting to work in an excellent team. Hard work can surely get you a job in one of the world’s largest transportation companies!
