Pros

Food, people, culture, Lyft credits

Cons

Management is inept. Terrible review and promotion processes. No accountability for terrible decisions. Operational and support plans are trying to solve today's problems with Web 1.0 solutions. Outsource, outsource, outsource.

Pros

- Great team - good at what they do and fun to be with. I look forward to seeing my team at work. Most of the people at lyft are very friendly, willing to help you, and better socially than the stereotypical engineer. - High technical quality. There are some very good engineers at lyft who I can learn from - Fast paced: there aren't many organizational barriers (opposed to a larger company) to shipping code. You don't need to go through a hierarchy to get an idea across. At the same time, there are enough infrastructure (definitely could be better but better than nothing) that you can mostly focus on your job (assuming you're not an infrastructure engineer) instead of figuring out your environment (eg: why deploys don't work, problems with data platform..) - High impact to effort ratio. There were 4 server engineers on my team (2 at one point) and we shipped a completely new product. - Good comp (good enough that I never think about this. I only remembered when I had to rate my compensation down below)

Cons

- Development environment can still be improved. - A few teams need to work quite long hours so work life balance is harder to get right.
