Lyft Product Manager Interview Questions

Submitted Application online. Recruiter emailed for screening call within a week. Basic call going over resume and the role. Also 1 or 2 behavioral questions. Basically trying to see if you fit the Hiring Managers criteria.

Just prepare glassdoor questions, they are repetitive We ask open-ended questions to learn how you approach and solve problems. There’s no one right way to answer—your ability to explain your thought process and how you use data to inform decisions is what is the most important.”

Did a behavioral interview with pretty high level questions about personal attributes, skills, and specific experiences where you demonstrated a desirable quality. Overall a good experience, very conversational and friendly interview process

Several stages starting with recruiter screen, then first round of product sense and execution. They place great emphasis on preparing you for these questions. However, it doesn't feel particularly efficient in regards to actual hiring. It feels more like a screening process akin to management consulting interviews—can you find the relevant information and are you willing to play the game? Thus, the typical online big-tech PM interview resources are good for prep. Ultimately, the process got cut short by a hiring freeze.

Referred by a Lyft employee then heard back from recruiter within 1 week. The process is streamlined and very similar to Facebook: recruiter phone screening --> 2 initial interviews (1 for product sense, 1 for execution) --> final onsite Lyft is doing a generic hiring for PM roles. The recruiter I worked with was not unprofessional or not taking my case seriously. During the initial phone screening, he didn't even want to share more information the entire interview process. He just dropped me a prep guide for the initial interviews during the call and asked if I have any questions. Furthermore, he barely answered any questions beyond the initial interviews (Not sure if he would change his attitude if I made to the final round) For the initial round, I did well in the product sense interview and not well in the execution one due to a relevant tricky question. I don't think the interviewer ran the conversation with open mind and he just tried to go through his script rigidly. The worst part is the rejection email. I believe it's a template for all the rejected candidates. Given that the email said "let me know if you would like to hop on a call to discuss any questions", I asked if we could hop on a quick call to get more feedback then the recruiter just copied and pasted the brief feedback directly in the response email without any other words (The formatting issue even took me a while to figure out the meaning). From my perspective, the company did care about the candidate experience during the interview process. Good thing is that Lyft shared feedback for your interviews so at least you know how your gad areas.

recruiter call + product sense / execution interviews + virtual onsite (another product sense / execution interviews + xfn team interview + manager interview ) I really appreciate the effort of the recruiter. Provide prep calls before each round, check in after the interview and give you feedbacks. I have never seen any other companies doing like this. Although I didn't get the offer, I really enjoyed the whole interview process.

#1: recruiter call #2: call with hiring manager #3:panel interview (4-5) people pretty straight forward and each interviewer asked questions based on the skillset they were looking for. Received an offer in the end and accepted it

7 interviews total Round 1: phone screen with the HM, behavioral questions Round 2: product sense & product execution case questions Round 3: product sense, xfn interview, product execution, leadership questions

I applied through a friend recommendation. 2 months later they contacted me. I went through 3 stages : Product Sense interview, Product Execution interview and the last interview with all 3: Sense, Execution and Leadership. After that company went silent. I contacted them 2 weeks later and asked for a feedback. Recruiter said the the feedback was positive but the position was cancelled and they will contact me later. 2 weeks later they opened a new position. I contacted them and asked if I can be interviewed for this position. Didn't get any response.

Recruiting phone screen followed by 2 virtual onsite interviews followed again by 2 further onsite interviews. Questions similar to what you can google, they use the same style as Uber and Facebook. Process overall was smooth, their recruiting is doing a decent job (compared to almost all other companies). Most interviewers were pleasant to talk to and personable with the exception of a woman who first showed up 5 minutes late without apologizing even with a single word and then went on to talk about how there are too many ex-Amazon white males (i.e. my exact) profile at Lyft already. Highly unprofessional.
