I had a bad experience with Lyft's previous self driving challenge - https://www.udacity.com/lyft-challenge

I unofficially got first place after finding a bug in their test set (allowing me to blow the competition away). I reported the problem directly - they decided not to fix it and asked me to take my submission down. They said they'd still offer an interview.

However - this interview wasn't even for their DL team. They offered an interview with the web tools support team because they felt I didn't have enough experience...

Imagine if it was a bug in their app leaking millions of users data and they go "We do not fix it. You can only use Uber now" "Also, come for an interview if you want to fix our web tools instead"
