Lyft reviews

Frequent layoffs (on 4th, I think, in 4 years), inconsistent stock (e.g. make less or same every year, but still fine enough), blurry strategy vision. Career opportunities really due to layoffs & attrition vs. by design. New management vastly different principles (hire / fire / yes / no) vs. a brand shaping a better future. Def a struggling second best company in a two-player game. Outsourcing & offshoring, but with expensive RTO is strange. Massive, continual strategic pivots. Several mid-talent level Engineers (for big tech— be honest, very few would make it far elsewhere who haven’t already gotten poached) always acting like they are better than all other tech/non-tech functions who are relatively more talented / respected in their respective fields.

The company is moving in the wrong direction for technical folks. If you want to progress solidly into or past a senior level (and be recognized as such by other companies), you're going to have a hard time. Energy of the company is pretty low. Feels like things move at big-tech levels of slowness without the stability. Lingering doubts about job security and company's long-term growth. Some teams cut too deep. If you're joining a team with a couple of folks, prepare to have all your time taken up by ops load.
