- 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.
I have a friend that is really into the rat race for money.. He told me that Lyft gave 200 range refreshers a year, so 800 4 years... to me that sounds insane taking in consideration that Apple do 150 over 4 years and Fb 250 over 4 year as well. Is Lyft the new place to get rich?

What Lyft on-site looks like, for SWE at Level 5 in PA? Is it typical among other unicorns, i.e. you get a combination of coding and system design rounds? For a phone screen, I found at least one distinction - they seem to be very specific about using C++ for coding.
