Joining Lyft soon. Haven't seen a lot of threads about Lyft, either good or bad. got a couple of questions: - what is the refresh like? - does Lyft layoff or let-go people? - any interesting perks? - any bad things to watch out? TC: 325K Happy holidays! #lyft
lyft stock is going to zero. The best way ending for Lyft is to be acquired
How ridiculous, people will always need to go places and the moat is real, see all the failed rideshare startups in NYC for proof (Juno, Via, etc). Rideshare in general is still growing 30-40% annually
It won’t be a cash cow like FB, but it is not going anywhere.
I love Lyft! The culture is really fantastic. People are genuinely in it together. Perks are great. I think we have above average food. We also get a lot of free rides of course. I haven't seen anyone leave Lyft that wasn't voluntary. Refresh is far from guaranteed but pretty likely!
What’s your offer or GTFO.
If you could read, you see they described their compensation in this thread not once, but multiple times.
That’s their Apple comp you tool.
My experience at Lyft was horrible. Early on they hired many average or below average engineers (and managers) from places like Salesforce etc. These folks only play politics and get their way. Be careful of these if you join.
Attrition has kept the worse people while everyone with marketable skills and can pass an interview left for greener pastures. There’s a shit load of people just fighting to hold on to their claimed territory.
Sounds like wework!
lyft is not going to have any chance against uber - at some point it has to merge into uber.

Based on the stock valuation, it’s a good time to join Lyft. I haven’t heard them laying off employees so far. What is the breakdown of your TC and yoe?
165/600/10. I know it is not great. But I am joining as L5 and I am ICT3 at Apple. It is actually a huge hike for me. 7 yoe. Do they fire people like Netflix or Facebook?
You are getting a good package and huge hike. I’ve couple of friends in Lyft, work culture is good in Lyft. Don’t worry about the layoffs. Work smart and have good working relationship with the team and your manager.
