How it went

The interview process for the entry-level Software Engineer role at Lyft was notably concise. It included a recruiter screen, a single technical interview, and a shortened onsite loop. The technical assessments featured a graph traversal problem akin to 'Rotting Oranges' and an object-oriented design question involving a time-based key-value store with deletion capabilities.
