- 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.
This is a genius idea. But you all need to figure out a way to accept clipper. At .50 cents more than my current bus and no discount it has no use for me. VMware in addition to many companies will help fund Caltrain, muni, clipper cards, ect. As much as I want to try this out, there isn't much of a ...Read more

You finally moved the stop close to my apt so I started using it. $3 to get to work and a more efficient route than standard Line? SOLD!
Seen some interesting work coming out of Lyft... free car wash in LA, taco mode, Minnie Van shuttles. Wondering how much of that is actually in-house or outside agencies.
Taking corporate shuttle makes me realized, the reason why people don’t take the bus is because they don’t want to be side by side with crazies. Why not make a bus service with badge access only and subscription payments? Only people with jobs can ride it. #uber #lyft engineers, go make it happen!...Read more
Out of curiosity, how does your company support your commute to the office? I’ll start to share that visa offers shuttle services around the Bay Area, with 2 loops on Tuesday-Thursdays and a single loop on Monday/Friday. They cut the Monday/Friday 2nd loop for cost savings. Wondering if Visa’s comm...Read more
1. Does Lyft have shuttles? 2. What would one expect for this position in terms of compensation? 3. What's your favorite thing about working there vs other tech companies in the area?
Folks that live in SF but work in Sunnyvale or Mountain View, how do you get back to the city if your coworkers plan an evening happy hour or something after work and it’s too late to take a shuttle home? Do you just pay $50-60 for a Lyft or are there other options?
If so, how do you survive being stuck in traffic? Thinking about moving back (interned there a while ago) but I definitely gotta figure out how to handle this first. I mostly used a bike to get everywhere (temp housing was close to work) but still had a few close calls when I had to take Uber/Lyft ...Read more
Whenever I use my company’s coach/shuttle, and many times when I share a Uber/Lyft with other people, there are people making long phone calls (30+ minutes and even 1 hour) in languages I don’t understand, Curious what topics people are talking over these long phone calls. Have never asked. Since p...Read more
Moved to Bay Area in June from NYC for a job. Currently living in South Bay. I go to the office once or twice a week. Company provides Via shuttle service and Lyft credits. So office commute is not an issue. But I feel I miss that sense of freedom as you need a car for everything else. I also enjoy ...Read more
Folks who live in Orinda/Moraga/Walnut Creek - how is your commute experience to SF or to the Peninsula (Google/Facebook etc.)? If you were taking BART to the city, how crowded was it during normal commute hours (I know that the Dublin/Pleasanton route or the Fremont route to the city are super crow...Read more
