      People are great, fun environment, weak HR

      Senior operations specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people are incredible, and the main reason to be in the office. With a handful of exceptions, everyone is smart, caring, and wants the company to succeed. It is a very open culture with blameless incident review process within Engingeering.

      Cons

      It can be a hard place to navigate and move up if you don't have a good manager (I don't). HR is fairly useless if you want to switch teams and are being roadblocked by your manager. Recruiting is also extremely understaffed and not very effective at getting talent through the pipeline. Compensation across the org is a bit low.

      Fun atmosphere, terrible pay

      Pros

      Lyft strives hard to create a fun, inclusive, and community driven atmosphere. Catered lunch. Fun events.

      Cons

      No equity for non-executive employees. Low pay. Terrible internal communication. Product focused, not customer focused.

      Looks are Deceiving: Toxic Leadership Culture

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great Corporate Benefits - Caring colleagues on a personal level - Socially minded culture - Inclusivity, Allyship, and Peer Support

      Cons

      - Hands-down the most toxic culture in terms of leadership, especially within the Rideshare org. - Credit for contributions made is taken by those who didn't do or contribute to the work. - Agreeable incompetence is awarded and promoted over legitimate experience or expertise—the folks getting promoted are rarely qualified for the role. - The HR and Employee Relations orgs are openly biased towards preserving leadership interests and headcount over the supporting individual contributor reports of issues, harassment, or inequitable treatment. - Performance and promotions are evaluated based on how happy you make your assigned stakeholders—not on actual job performance or contributing to the mission of the company. - Does not truly support a remote workforce model—openly biased towards working in an office over-investing in the technology and systems to enable distributed workforce success.
