Lyft level 5 technical phone interview

One (hopefully) great thing about their onsite interview (assuming I clear the phone interview) is that it wouldn't involve whiteboard coding. This is already enough incentive for me to apply there :) However, I do have to pass the phone interview. Any suggestions, insights (Lyft tagged LC? Difficulty?) Thanks! TC: 250k YoE: 8+ P.S. Level 5 is autonomous driving division.

Huh? They don't do whiteboard coding?

That's what I was told by the recruiter. I asked again and received a confirmation.

Even harder .. u code in laptop and make it run all test cases in 1/2 shots :p

I explicitly asked him about it and was told no coding except maybe a bit of pseudo coding. Most of time will be spent on system design and a deep dive on one of my past projects.

I don't know if it's level 5 specific or the role they are hiring for (data infra, staff level)

Unless you’re non-technical, expect mostly white boarding. No idea why they told you otherwise
