Pros

Plenty of snacks. Discount on Lyft.

Cons

Lyft hired 172 H-1B and other visa holders in 2017. Almost all of them in Tech. Lyft's 2017 head count was about 1500. Of those, about 40% (about 600) were techies. That means Lyft almost exclusively hired foreign Techies in 2017. In 2018 (January 1 to July 7), they have so far hired 136 foreign tech workers - to the detriment of Americans.
