Pros
Pros? Good benefits. Generally nice people. It looks good on a resume. You can get your foot into the door of tech here. It's generally easy. As long as you avoid ANYTHING customer service related, seriously, don't work those positions at Lyft. They're terrible, exhausting, demoralizing, and impossible to escape from internally.
Cons
Be aware if someone's giving you a referral. You get a $1000 bonus for referring someone who gets hired, so make sure it's someone you trust who's giving you the scoop on what it's like to work at Lyft. Really hard to move up. Management will tell you whatever they need to to keep you placated. Pay is trash. Comp for similar roles in my area paid 20k higher Many roles are catch-all roles, where you do a little bit of what you'd expect, then a hundred other random tasks that someone needs to have done, and you can't say no to them. Inequality/bias happens. I found out that since I was in internal hire, I was paid a LOT less (15k less) than a new hire on our team who was 5 years less experienced than me. That stung. I negotiated for a raise and got a flat-out no. The company is in a tough spot in this economy, so they blame that on why they won't give raises. They're also making virtual employees go back in office. I was really glad to be laid off in April.
