- 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.
As the title says. I was supposed to do a virtual onsite this week at Lyft. My recruiter called me earlier this morning to say that they just got word of a hiring freeze until the end of the year, so they're pausing ongoing applications such as mine. Shame, I was looking forward to the opportunit...Read more
saw recruiters on Linkedin saying eng is hiring at Lyft but the rideshare industry is pretty much non existant currently. Why would they hire people who they will likely layoff in a few months? seems pretty shitty
Condolences to all those who were part of today's Lyft layoffs. I was laid off last year and understand the pain. I had been interviewing with Lyft and was expecting an offer before the new CEO took over and layoffs were announced. The filing says 250 open roles are being closed, but will they st...Read more

Hello community! Does anyone know the hiring situation at Lyft? I had a role I was interviewing for and the recruiter said that Lyft isn’t impacted by it. That was 10 days ago. I haven’t heard back after that. Does anyone at Lyft know?

I asked the recruiter but she never got back to me, not sure if she is still with Ly...Read more
Dang. Another tech company with a hiring freeze. Just got this email #tech #hiringfreeze
Any Lyft folks know if the open reqs on their website are actually looking to be filled? Surprised they have them open post layoffs.
Does Lyft provide laptop for work? If so, Mac vs windows? Can we also use it for limited personal work? Reason, thinking to buy personal laptop, should I buy one? I am a windows person. Should I need to learn Mac? Reason, I saw people using Mac during interview.
I’m scheduled for Lyft on-site interviews next week . What happens after the on-site interviews? Is there a hiring committee? What factors do they consider? How long does it take for them to get back usually? Are there any follow-ups scheduled? YOE: 15
