- 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.
Hey guys, I have been trying for the past 2 years unsuccessfully to get a Lyft or Google callback for internship, anybody know the secret? I have background in Facebook, Amazon, and a smaller startup and apply with a polished resume and cover letter each time :(
Got internship offers offers at both. Cruise would be the product engineering team, Lyft won't give a team until later. Both are @15b valuation but Cruise seems to be growing faster. Comp is comparable at both(for internship, full-time I think Lyft wins). Hoping to hear thoughts on the work, caree...Read more
I’m an ex-Uber Intern with offers from Quora, Google and Lyft for next summer. Leaning towards Quora right now because I feel like I will maximise my growth/learning there. Lyft is a close second for the same reasons but at its current rate of growth I’m not sure if mentorship would be readily avail...Read more
Should I take a Facebook or Lyft internship? I'm currently a junior and I could take both, but it will make my last year pretty tight and I won't be able to do my school's 5 year master's program. Facebook in Menlo Park, 8k/month Lyft in SF, 9.6k/month
I have offers from both companies for summer SE (full-stack development) internships. In terms of comp Lyft is offering more, however I’m more concerned with which company will allow me to learn more and also look better on my resume after. I know Microsoft is a great company to get on your resume,...Read more

Hi! I am currently a college student applying to internships and I really want a chance to be an intern at Lyft. I go to a well known school but I don't have many contacts since I'm originally from an area that isn't really tech-focused. I feel very confident though as I have been doing a lot of pro...Read more

Got a return offer from fb for another internship and from Lyft. Can’t find a lot of posts about Lyft internship experience. Could you share yours?
Anyone here work at Lyft Level 5 on the autonomy teams (specifically prediction or perception)? How's the work and culture like? Are interns treated well? I'm graduating in about 1.5 years and contemplating between doing a return internship at FB or interning at Lyft L5. I heard both of their new g...Read more
Received offers from both Uber and Lyft for an SWE internship Deciding not based on intern comp but on the prospect of a new grad return offer I would appreciate comments about personal career growth, work culture and company growth
