Lyft Data Scientist Interview Preparation Guide - Junior Level (1-2 Years)

Lyft's data scientist interview process is a comprehensive multi-stage evaluation designed to assess technical proficiency, analytical thinking, business acumen, and cultural fit. The process combines phone screens, a take-home assignment, and multiple on-site rounds to evaluate candidates across statistics, machine learning, SQL, and business problem-solving. For junior-level candidates, expect a 4-6 week process from initial application to offer, with emphasis on foundational competencies, learning ability, and collaborative potential rather than advanced expertise.
