- 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.
Overall- team seems disorganized & trashy not a great representation of Lyft as a whole. Interviewed with the recruiter then a team mate from the team (not hiring manager). 1. There was a disconnect from the recruiter and the team’s scope of duties for the role. The recruiter emailed me w/an apolo...Read more
Lyft is died whatever they do. They will just lose money until broken. No price competition any more for Uber. So what will happen? It is kinda of perfect monopoly for Uber. I don’t think anti-trust will apply to it while Uber will be the only player in its business. I guess they can keep raise the ...Read more
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/13/doordash-releases-s-1-for-ipo.html DoorDash lost a total of $149 million in 2020, a company that is spending every last dollar to expand. Yet Uber lost 5 billion so far this year, and Lyft at 1 or 2 billion as well. Does anyone find this incredible? Is DoorDash re...Read more
Been a bag holder on $Lyft for a while and I’ve obviously gotten screwed. Really curious to understand where everyone thinks these companies will be in the future. I understand Uber is significantly better performing as they have a larger user base and more complete services but how do we think rid...Read more
What’s the expected TC for EM at Lyft in hardware team? Is Lyft growing or will be out of business soon ?
CNBC: Uber says drivers aren't part of its 'usual course' of business. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/11/california-passes-assembly-bill-5-for-gig-workers.html Funny how their lawyer can say that with a straight face. That's why their TC is so high #uber #lyft
There’s a conversation across Blind and the internet about the Lyft IPO and whether it’s worthwhile to invest in their stock. The obvious risk is that this is a company that is losing a ton of money, is not the category leader and may never be in profitable. It is not inherently clear that Lyft’s bu...Read more
Why is Lyft not diversifying? They have so many drivers but still they are just focusing on rides. Food delivery, package delivery, lyft for business, global expansion, self driving cars, nothing... nada. What does your executive team tell you internally to justify taking no risks? I personally thin...Read more

It should be clear to Lyft execs that ride sharing market won’t come back any time soon and Uber has proven that food delivery service like Uber Eats can make the company some money during pandemic time. However It looks like Lyft has no interest in diversifying it’s business. Why is it and what’s ...Read more
Both Uber and Lyft announced Q4 2022 results and Uber is the absolute winner in the ride share market, and it seems a matter of time that Lyft is either out of business. Congrats Uber! However though, is it good for us? I don't feel good that there is only one ride share company so that one player c...Read more
I had a big respect for companies like Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, Yelp etc and wished I had worked for them. But now looking at how these companies are laying off (except Airbnb), I'm so surprised. Are these companies being run so badly (or so fragile) that they cannot even withstand 3 months of bad busi...Read more

Article: I If there were ever a time when Lyft had a chance to catch up with Uber, it was last year. A constant barrage of negative publicity, including a #deleteUber social media movement, offered Lyft a gift in terms of picking up business. But while Lyft made some gains, it still finished the ye...Read more
