Interviewing for Lyft for a Product role. They mentioned the first step is a sense and execution round, but their sense example in the prep doc is actually a strategy question “should Lyft do XYZ” and their execution one is more of a diagnosis question. Anyone can shed some light as to what to expect? #Lyft
Why would you join Lyft right now?
I don’t get along with my Amazon manager and there aren’t many roles available
Sense tends to be product insights or design, but you are right that question seems more strategy. The main delta b/w sense / strategy would be that sense would dive deeper into actually designing the solution (list user pain points, user personas, list 3 solutions (easy, medium complexity, moonshot), flesh out their user experience), pros / cons then decide on your mvp solution, success metrics, risks / mitigation). Strategy would dive a bit more into porters five forces at the start and really carving out the goal / objective critically, but then keeping the solutions and user experience more higher level. Execution is usually prioritization / trade off questions which can have analytical questions like x metric is down or y is up, let’s diagnose… questions could be how to decide to launch x or launch y in z region. Anything that has data to support decision making. I would also prep for analytics question, so root cause analysis, decide metrics / goals or estimation questions. I hope that helps.
Super helpful, thanks!
I joined and was part of a layoff within 1 month. YMMV but don’t assume you’re safe at all even if you just joined
What is your TC?
You will be joining something even worse than Amazon. The CEO of Lyft is from Amazon and you get 100% sure stock downside. My stocks at Lyft are 60 to 80% down than what they were allocated for. Also, Lyft doesnt have any future.
