- 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.
How's the role, TC, day-to-day work, level of excitement in the job, team culture and impact? Thinking about applying.

With Lyft and Motional partnering to launch self driving robotaxis, is it a wise move to apply for Lyft’s EE-AV open position?
Currently E4 at Meta, got senior offers from Uber and Lyft, TCs are similar(around 470k), which one should I choose?

As it is said "surround yourself with right people", "you are described by your 5 close friends" etc. Does it also include life partner. Did you prefer your partner to be smart, highly ambitious. How does it feel like being with partner who doesn't have high goals. #tech #google #Facebook #amazon...Read more
Is Lyft honestly a company that treats employees and driver partners with more class / dignity (and better compensation)? Or is it a ruse and Uber simply owns its long hours and challenged relationship with both parties in a more unabashed manner?
Hi Blind! My partner is applying for the Lyft Apprenticeship program and would love to connect with someone from Lyft to learn and network about the program. She would be grateful for a quick 10 minutes chat. Thanks. #lyft #lyftcareers

How one can participate in a business venture while working on H1B. I assume, one can be a business partner to share profit but can’t draw any salary. Also, I see ppl driving uber / lyft on H1B.

What are your thoughts on the mid / long term success of Uber? Levelling off of sales, Tesla launching it's robo-taxi service in 2020 and Waymo partnering with Lyft, this seems to add significant long term pressure on the ridesharing aspect of Uber. Uber Eats and Freight make up a very small part of...Read more
My partner has 8 years experience in market research and saw an opening at Lyft for a Consumer Insight Manager and He's hoping someone can refer him. He can no longer post on Blind, but I am happy to pass on his info. Thanks!

There have been lots of threads around pros/cons of Uber. After this post I am signing out for good. To win the future of ride sharing requires: 1) consumer brand and trust 2) L5 autonomy 3) operations expertise with physical assets Google has 1 and (soon) 2. They will have to develop/acquire/pa...Read more

No nonsense. No BS. This topic is to discuss the real tier 1 companies. For a company to be tier 1, it needs to be top tier in all the following: WLB, culture, TC and stability. For instance, Amazon and Snapchat are not tier 1 due to forced PIP and poor WLB (or so Blind claims) even if they have top...Read more
