Pros

I grew a ton at Lyft personally and was given all the opportunities I needed. Projects were fun and I felt like I was surrounded by smart people

Cons

Leadership is so risk adverse it can slow down your work as an IC. Overtime, it's felt like the average quality of engineer has gone down as well

Pros

You can make over $100 per day most of the time and you meet some nice people for the most part.

Cons

They stop paying you what you earn out of nowhere, then play dumb about it. All reps are Indian and very dismissive. The in app gps glitches constantly and sends you everywhere via the interstate, which forces you to spend more on gas. Riders make things up to get a free ride, which leads to the driver getting deactivated.
