It's pretty good. (Lyft also has the express concept, which I've used a few times. Most of those times the driver was under the impression it was a Lyft Line, and were wondering why there weren't any more rides showing up).

I just looked up my info there (lookup company, by title and sort through to the date my application was filed). They just have my base salary listed there, which is a super-inaccurate way to compare salaries, in my opinion. RSUs and bonus
