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.

Pros

Lyft has a reputation as a "nice" company, and the people live up to it. People here believe strongly in the mission of the company and they're really smart, but the egos aren't out of control. The company moves quickly, so it's exciting to see your work have an impact. And the benefits are pretty good: free Lyft credits, catered lunch, amazing maternity/paternity leave, dogs at the office.

Cons

The compensation is a bit worse than you'd get elsewhere. (Wait, no 401k match?) So you're definitely sacrificing a bit for the privilege of working at Lyft. And the flip side of the fast pace is that objectives change a lot and cause thrash.
