Business Outlook
Pros
Lyft is remarkably non-corporate for a company of its size. I almost never had to put up with BS as a data scientist, I was always able to make my case and be heard clearly. Everyone was really collaborative, and when I had to go on medical leave, the amount of support I had from my team was astounding. Also, the management structure for DS roles (report to a manager on the Science team but be embedded on the particular engineering team) worked really well for me- having a manager who knew my methods, and a team that was working with me to apply them, is very sensible.
Cons
Obviously they're under a great amount of stress while COVID-19 is decimating their revenue, and I don't know whether anything has changed since April.
