Pros

Free catered lunch on weekdays, snacks, drinks.

Cons

When you are security, the Lyft employees treat you like you're a lesser employer. They don't really interact with you in the same way they would with their coworkers who make more money. Not all of them are like this, but I'd say ~40%.

Pros

-Fast-paced, inclusive, and collaborative culture with so much room for learning and growth in a quickly changing industry -Many avenues for future opportunities -An environment that makes it easy to feel connected to, and a part of, the overall company goals and successes. Actually feel good and excited about coming in to work. -Pay is competitive and benefits are pretty awesome

Cons

-With how fast things are moving and changing, sometimes there can be a feeling of work going in several different directions at the same time, but really, that's pretty much the nature of startups in the first place. -Work/Life balance is good for the most part, but there can be periods where that's not the case. But again, kind of comes with the fast-paced nature of startups.

Pros

Lyft still maintains a great culture. From employee resource groups to supported learning sessions, I feel valued as an employee. As a rapidly growing start-up, there is also ample opportunity for growth and dynamic change.

Cons

With dynamic growth comes issues with middle management but this is expected when growing so fast.
