Lyft reviews

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.

- 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.
