I have an interview coming up for Lyft L5, their autonomous driving division. Ride aggregators have been having a tough time surviving. Both Uber and Lyft have had layoffs, and Uber is willing to sell its ATG division. Meanwhile, Lyft is still hiring scientists for L5
Should I consider joining Lyft if I get a huge TC bump?

TC: £120k
YOE: 2

    I am not a Lyft insider though interviewed with Lyft L5 and got an offer a while back (late 2018). Lyft L5 in London is based on acquisition of a startup Blue Vision Labs. Lyft L5 has a group in Munich too though o heard that group got affected during these layoffs.

    Overall TC at Lyft is quite good. As for Lyft L5, they are way behind other self driving car companies and many of the management folks (at that time) didn’t have sufficient domain specific and/or relevant product development experience. In several threads this fact has been supported by several Lyft insiders so perhaps they can pitch in with the latest developments.

    I'm considering joining soon. Massive bump from amzn. I say go for it. If you can get Lyft you can go anywhere else.

      Are you not worried about the job stability? I am here on a visa, so I am a bit apprehensive

      Ah. Visa would be a different story probably lol

      I had like 10 offers this time so tbh job stability isn't really something I care about

    Any idea on the difficulty of programming questions in the onsite? I am okay at programming, just been out of touch for the past 2.5 years.
