Pros

Nothing to say for this field

Cons

Complaint Regarding Payroll and Account Issues I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding a series of serious issues I have been experiencing with your company. I have been a dedicated employee at Lyft for the past five years and five months, and I never imagined having to face such problems. Approximately three weeks ago, my company account, which I had been using without any issues, completely disappeared. Alongside this, I have yet to receive my rightful payment for the period from July 17th to July 23rd. This delay in receiving my rightful wages has persisted until today. This situation has caused me significant financial strain and distress. Furthermore, today, I encountered yet another problem: my account has once again been rendered inactive. Despite my repeated attempts to communicate with the company, I have received no effective solutions to these issues. I find it disheartening that despite my commitment to Lyft and the years of service I have contributed, I am met with such a lack of assistance and resolution. I implore you to take immediate action to rectify these pressing matters. It is my hope that you can restore my account access promptly and ensure that I receive my outstanding wages without any further delay. I believe that your swift attention to these matters will not only alleviate my distress but also uphold the reputation of Lyft as a responsible and employee-centric organization. I kindly request that you provide a comprehensive solution to these issues as soon as possible.

Pros

- Onboarding process is the best I have ever had - The experimentation framework is decent - Some strong engineers and data scientists - Compensation and benefits are great, though RSUs are not promising

Cons

- Pink flavor of toxic Uber - obvious because a lot of folks here are ex-Uber. - Company will never be profitable - Engineers & PMs here are arrogant, toxic and political. They browbeat each other, torpedo each other's work, gossip, yell, falsely blame each other etc. This is the only company I have worked where the politics exists at the engineer/PM-level. Because the management is desperate to retain talent, if you are smart & arrogant you will be shielded at the expense of other employees. - The arrogance of the engineers does not match their talent level. Merely clever engineers, but lacking in maturity, experience and intellectual humility. If they worked at a place like Google, they will be humbled in a day. - My PM was a plagiarist and dating another PM in the same team, leading to all kinds of weird interactions but HR and upper management would not fix it. - Token DEI hires who do not meet the bar.
