Recently gave lyft interview, out of 5 round (4 tech + 1 HM) 2 sys design went fine, one coding whiteboard went fine (in fact interviewer told that you are very fast). The last laptop coding, simple question with bonus feature. Could not touch bonus feature (silly time wasted on testing and std i/o cmnd parsing etc). Over all code is clean and works with following issues 1. one corner case missed 2. defined one method in class (should be outside) - so not good structure Any idea on how it went and chances. I know, I will know eventually but I am on blind with folks like you so why not get more insight. Thanks.
I hope your communication was better during the interviews because your post is so hard to understand.
it was ok, I guess.
Where did you interview and for which level? I recently interviewed for L5 in NYC and the interview format was completely different: 1 laptop coding, 2 system designs, 1 past project/behavioral/leadership
In Bay area. I had 1 extra coding round.

If the bonus feature is transaction with rollback for original problem, it's not really a bonus feature, it's kinda like a must to clear that round.
and what I know is without laptop round other rounds are irrelevant, right ?
You are right, all the code(basic) except I/O was done in 21 minutes , wasted 20+ minutes in I/O internet search writing generic code etc. Then gave up for bonus. Some one said its 25% skills and 75% luck, maybe it was not for me.
