Pros

work life balance Interesting work, tho don’t think the work will help customers or shareholders People , though good ones are leaving and lots of resting esp in the Eastern Europe offices Decent comp though stock has trended down consistently since IPO $72 to now

Cons

Short sighted leadership, no product vision chasing quarterly earnings but hasn’t stop stock prices from plummeting (since ipo) Shrinking US teams thru layoff and attrition, moving to lower cost locations outside of US Weak product managers and pm teams Majority of Eastern Europe teams have not been productive the last year yet excluded layoffs Benefits have been pared down consistently over the last few years. Used to have $200/mo Lyft credit, used to have snacks and drinks in the office. All have disappeared company has been on survival mode the last 2 years Wannabe Amazon, losing the Lyft values and culture

Pros

competitive pay, remote, and nice NYC office

Cons

Many of the directors have had to absorb departments (due to ~3 rounds of layoffs since 202) that they don't have any much experience in or interest in. There are tons of operational inefficiencies that lead to chaotic, unscalable, and redundant work. There is not a culture of ownership of work or commitment to make things better- and it shows.
