Pros

-Excellent ERGs -Very diverse population (but not inclusive in certain teams) -Interesting work -Free lunches are decent -Close to Caltrain -Excellent equity packages for FTEs

Cons

-Bad managers are not disciplined or held accountable, even when there is extreme turnover -HR Investigations don't go anywhere and will not provide any results -Questionable hiring and promoting decisions made in some teams -Extremely toxic work environment (ex// leadership watches when you come and go from the office and how quickly you respond; public shaming is rampant so prepare to be criticized with all your stakeholders cced) -No WFH (unless someone tests positive for Coronavirus!), remote work is heavily discouraged even if the person is sick/injured -If you are a diverse candidate, prepare to have to work double or triple the amount that is expected of others to prove that you have value and accept that you will still likely be passed over for promotions (this may just be a symptom of a bad manager(s), but it's been going on for a long time without being addressed) -Legal is an island that doesn't care about other stakeholders in the company, it's their way or the highway -Hypercompetitive teams at Lyft that don't hesitate to stab you in the back, don't trust anyone

Pros

Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner (if you stay late enough). Unlimited PTO. Flexible schedule.

Cons

Upper management was terrible and lacked transparency. Company culture is toxic as reflected by the extremely high attrition rate. Our department was often overworked and undervalued. Other departments often did not recognize the downstream effects of their own mistakes and expected our department to fix it for them. Lack of pay raise and promotions despite working hard and receiving glowing reviews from manager.
