I recently received an offer from Lyft (offer details below). I was asking around and people said Lyft no longer gives employees credit for rides. Wanted to confirm if that's true? If it is the case then do employees get any sort of discounts? Also, what are some other perks that Lyft offers (apart from free food)? SDE L4 (160/400) YOE: 4
With that TC you need lyft credits?
Even if you're worth 2 million doesn't free pizza still taste amazing?
160 base/400k rsu?
New grad?
L4 is not new grad. L3 is.
How was your onsite interview? I have an onsite with them this Friday
I thought it was medium to hard. Since you have write code on a computer you can't afford to have bugs on edge cases etc but the coding question was easy. The hardest part was system design. Good luck on your interview!
I failed their system design on my onsite. I have other onsites. Could you give some recommendations on what you did right? I have been watching sys design videos on YouTube and i has web crawler problem and I regurgitated what I saw from YouTube and added more details like using Kafka but still failed rip
Years of exp? Perks include $130/mo transportation, new employees get something like 20% off rides unlimited (old employees still get $200/mo credit), phone bill credit $80/mo, free food, etc Might be missing a few things but that’s an overall summary
What role is this for? Eng, ds, rs, pm?
And what is your yoe/edu?
That is damn good tc for 4 yoe
yes true, they no longer give Lyft credit. new employees get a 20% discount, unlimited. old employees are grandfathered into still receiving $200 free credit per month, but this credit counts as taxable income when used. so really it's just a 50-60% discount. this perk is not really a big deal compared to TC health, life insurance, paternity, fertility, etc. I wouldn't spend much time thinking about it ask your recruiter these questions, they're glad to tell you anything that will help sell you on the company
You can always ask the recruiter for the benefits summary
I felt like asking for free Lyft rides would've made me sound a bit cheap. But I should ask for a general perks document though, thanks for the idea.
