- kind working team… genuine and authentic - incredibly smart and thoughtful people at all levels, on most teams - interesting opportunity space with tangible problems to solve and high potential for innovation - thoughtful focus on customers/users on most teams, with more and more company investment in how to do this effectively - recent investments in strategically aligning the organization and creating clarity in operations to support initiatives are beginning to help
Executives and senior leaders are terrible at investing in, growing and empowering the leaders under them, rather than holding them accountable and valuing their expertise and insights, they tend to bottleneck, micromanage and ignore the smart and thoughtful people they have hired. This has a three fold effect of eroding confidence in leadership overall, alienating working teams, and causing a culture of distrust, speculation and poor communication. Because everyone is “so nice”, and leadership is taking the tactic of micromanaging, a lot of things that could be worked through are left unsaid, and candor is absent at all levels. If Lyft can rightsize the above, by working with their leaders rather than around them; and investing in more leaders that are held accountable to contribute, drive, communicate and deliver …it will absolutely find itself on the right path.
If you use both apps as a rider, which one do you like more and why? Serious question. Not asking about company, pricing, brand, driver quality, or any operational issues like support quality or car ETAs. Just asking about the mobile application itself as a piece of technology. Genuinely curious wh...Read more
At the end of the day we are talking about ground transportation. A basic utility. The apps are way too fancy.
More popular than instagram and snapchat :) clearly trump is right - voter fraud happened and it's likely why trump won.

Just curious here would Apple take 30% of an Uber ride as an example?
How much money and how many people would it take to develop an application that is basically an Uber clone?
Is there any decent alternative? The two mentioned are not bad, but I'd like more options for when they do the price surge.
If so, does Uber use such data? What about Lyft? Does Lyft also collect such data?

Recently had the privilege to interview a recruiter who worked at 3/5 FAANGs the other day. Wanted to pass along her wisdom. The following was her response to "what companies do you like to see on a resume? " : "I like to see: - Ride share apps (uber/Lyft/didi/grab/etc) - Food delivery apps (DoorD...Read more
It was supposed to help tech people be aware of opportunities, get referrals, help in preparation etc. Or that's why I signed up. Lately, I've been trying to get referrals and got zero success in months. Even sending dm costs money. Seems blind is just another garbage forum with fake stories and ...Read more
How many do you usually send in? I used to do 1-2, maybe 3, but then I came across a screenshot where the person applied to 40 roles. Half of his apps were declined, the other half in process. Started doing the same and getting better results. #microsoft #slack #paypal #meta #twitter #dropbox #ama...Read more
Anyone go through the instacart & Lyft mobile Android interviews ? Was it a take home or leetcode? What type of questions? Build any android apps from scratch? #Instacart #Lyft
I sometimes see Lyft employees post shade on their Chief Product Officer and I’m not sure why. What’s the deal here? Lyft is a great product and I wish it the best. There are things I wish Uber did better in terms of messaging (e.g. surge pricing vs Primetime), and I admire the simplicity and focus...Read more
I experience Lyft app (iPhone 8) often showing “no connection” problem, whereas Uber App and all existing Apps work perfectly good. This happens pretty frequently, and occurs even when wireless signal indicator shows max strength. Anyone from Lyft who could help bring the issue to the right team? T...Read more
Hi Blind, hear me out. So now that Uber is down and Lyft is up, we all buy long Uber calls and Short lyft. All of us delete our Lyft apps and only ride Uber, we raise Ubers revenue for their next earnings and profit, and then switch strategies to profiting Lyft afterwards. Who's with me?!?!?!
