It concerns a Lyft Software Engineer interview at Entry Level / L3, submitted 7 months ago: > “I interviewed for Software Engineer T3, and the biggest thing that stood out was how short the process was. I had a recruiter screen, then a 1-hour technical round, and then an onsite that was originally supposed to be four rounds but got cut down to just two. The technical screens were pretty classic: one medium BFS/DFS-style grid problem similar to Rotting Oranges, then one OOP-flavored time-based key value store with a delete-at-timestamp twist. It felt more streamlined than I expected for a new grad process. I don't have an outcome to share, but process-wise it was a lot leaner than I thought it would be.” [Read the Lyft interview experience](https://www.aced.io/experiences/lyft-software-engineer-interview-ddacc7) No community answers have been contributed yet.
