Pros

If you're in the right position, they'll support you

Cons

As a growing company, Lyft was unable to effectively structure my department which produced serious and debilitating work conflicts. Also, my particular manager was arrogant and lacking in management skills. They seem to care more about prestige and status than actual functional performance abilities. I'm sure my manager had never managed employees before, and as such created a sometimes hostile work environment.

Pros

The usual perks you see at any other tech companies.

Cons

There's a lot of dead weight in marketing. People who do little will do well here. If you actually want to get stuff done and feel proud of your work, look elsewhere. The way they treat their drivers is a disgrace. It's disgusting how little they care about the drivers while putting up a front. While the drivers are literally going homeless, these people fret about their stock options while coming up with new ways to pay less for drivers.

Pros

Great benefits, okay pay for someone without a degree, team outings.

Cons

You will be micro-managed, they are running out of things to do in my team, and there is no future for the team or yourself as far as growth.
