Question 1
build an application based on car and driver using crud operation
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Freenow by Lyft in Jul 2018
Interview
I applied online threw their careers portal, an HR agent contacted me after 2 days to schedule an Skype introductory interview with an IT recruiter. The video interview was about 30 minutes, mainly involved sharing my experience and previous work and 1 or 2 easy technical questions, then we had a discussion about the role.
The next step was a take home test which, as the they describe, may take 2 hours, and that is not very true, but they gave me a week to finish. I finished the test 1 day before the due date and submitted it to them and I receive immediately a response thanking me for submitting the result and they will come back to me within 2 week.
What actually happened that the sent me a thank you and you are rejected email the next working day. They even refused to specify any reason for rejecting me, the HR really said that `we cannot give out any more information regarding your results due to legal restrictions as well as capacity reasons`, and asked me to understand their situation.
I hope they improve this disappointing process and to respect candidates more as they put hours of hard work to finish tests. They I deserve to know what is wrong and why they're not selected. Otherwise it's a wasted time for each other time.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Freenow by Lyft in Nov 2017
Interview
They contacted me through StackOverflow. There is a very short interview that is very vague that takes about 30 minutes and they mainly tell you that you would have to do a test at home which they say takes about 2-3 hours but takes way too much time than that. They provided an answer a week after and provided feedback, but I had to ask for it and was not very satisfactory. Anyway, their feedback showed me that they expect you to do a near real-life job exercise on your own time. Thank you for not taken me in, because I prefer to do my own stuff on my free time.

Question 1
Then there is a very long long test that consist of 4 tasks:
## Task 1
* Write a new Controller.
* Decide on your own how the methods should look like.
* Add new Entities and
## Task 2
First come first serve: One Entity can be selected by exactly one other Entity with some condition. If this condition is not met you should throw an Exception.
## Task 3
Make use of the filter pattern to implement an endpoint in a Controller to get a list Entities with specific characteristics. Reuse the characteristics you implemented in task 1.
## Task 4
Security: secure the API. It's up to you how you are going to implement the security.
The guidelines were as follow:
* All new entities should have an ID with type of Long and a date_created with type of ZonedDateTime.
* The architecture of the web service is built with the following components:
* DataTransferObjects: Objects which are used for outside communication via the API
* Controller: Implements the processing logic of the web service, parsing of parameters and validation of in- and outputs.
* Service: Implements the business logic and handles the access to the DataAccessObjects.
* DataAccessObjects: Interface for the database. Inserts, updates, deletes and reads objects from the database.
* DomainObjects: Functional Objects which might be persisted in the database.
* TestDrivenDevelopment is a good choice, but it's up to you how you are testing your code.
The tell you that you have about a week to solve it, but you wouldn't need longer than 2-3 hours.
