Cons

I joined the company because I heard about the great culture. While this is probably true in other teams, the team that I was on has a very toxic Sr. Manager (my boss). She has no sense of professionalism and is a very bad representation of what Lyft is about. She has no people skills and no managerial skills whatsoever. She constantly yell (yes, that's the right word), belittles, and mistreated her team. In fact, first thing in the morning, I could hear her yell at our Sr. Specialist who told me that I have to get used to the fact that our manager HATES her. I have never felt that much toxicity in a workplace. I could literally feel the stress at the back of my neck every day. HR has asked me to stay after I reported this. However, I didn't because I am not okay witnessing the mistreatment in the team. I have been informed the day before I left that 2 people in the staff left before I was hired, and another 2 left after me. Me and the other 2 that left after were there probably less than 2 months. During the interview, the team will not say anything bad about the manager. I asked why she didn't tsay anything, and was told that she don't want to get in trouble. They team felt that nothing is going to change because someone higher up in the org is protecting her. The problem has been communicated to HR in the past, but for some reason, they have not done what is necessary to get rid of the manager. This has been my worst career experience and would not recommend.
