Pros

- community oriented - great culture - excellent colleagues, especially in engineering - lots of interesting projects - lots of interesting ideas being explored - the CEO and President are like best buddies forever - the CTO and VP Engineering are both outstanding - there is a reasonable amount of fun activities (sometimes too many)

Cons

Almost always, the A-players at Lyft are those who deeply understand our mission and exemplify our values. They naturally do great work. Others (a minority) need to be helped, sometimes this is difficult.

Pros

A very collaborative environment, yet you'll get to speak up as an individual. All teams are very supportive and respectful to each other, everyone cares about the company and no egos around here. Perks and benefits are awesome, playful environment, location is great.

Cons

Team structure and creative process has rooms to improve, but that's not really cons, it's just growing and it is being improved.
