Pros

When I first started in 2018, you got paid for each share ride and was able to make good money.

Cons

They change the app without notice to cut down on your earnings to the bare minimum, where share rides no longer go by pay but by miles. example: I picked up two rides at the airport and got paid, $75 from one and $125 from the other, both going in the same direction with one's drop off further. Lyft changed it with no notice. I picked up 3 share rides at the airport and dropped them off in the same vicinity.. I made $12 total, because Lyft changed the fee to getting paid for mileage only, single or shared rides.. That's just one of the cons.. There's many more

Pros

- Nice people that you work with but doesn't save you from feeling horrible

Cons

- Managers are very manipulative - No alignment across departments and xfn partners - Leadership struggles to craft a solid vision and build upon - You feel like a commodity. Managers pretend genuine to get what they want but they do not care about you at all - ICs get burnouts all the time - No growth, at all. Directors gatekeep a lot and use budget as a response while they continue hiring more people and still make you do 2-3 people's work - Unorganized product team - Pay is ****
