I'm currently deciding between Two Sigma (NY), Lyft and Google (bay) for a new grad role. I was able to negotiate with them and compensation is similar for them overall but takes different forms (bonus for TS and RSUs for G and Lyft). Where would I be able to learn/grow the most? Culture fit is kinda important but definitely not the only priority. How's the working environment/culture at Two Sigma and Lyft? I think I have a fair idea about G. I've heard good things about Lyft but it's also my most risky option. Any other recommendations for what could be helpful in the long term?
Two Sigma has a similar culture to Google (lots of smart engineers) but people seemed significantly less arrogant when I interviewed there. If you enjoy being able to talk about your work, you may prefer Google or Lyft.
Just to be clear, people at Two Sigma are less arrogant? This is interesting. With the amount that G has been hiring, I don't see why Googlers feel the need to be arrogant.
That was my experience from interviewing a couple of years ago. I know it's a big company, so there's likely to be a huge diversity of personalities.
What role? Lyft if you want to take on dynamic mobility/transportation challenges.
Single? New york for sure

Do you care about living in NY vs bay area?
Nope, no significant preference on location!
Specific TC details please?

I bet you’d learn much more tackling the challenges at Lyft. Can’t speak for Google or 2Sigma, but their systems are too mature and you’ll make less impact.
Lyft is a google customer, so if you play your cards right can work with both. I do.
