Pros

Work/life balance was solid, pay was solid

Cons

Disorganized from the top down, plummeting stock prices with no clear plan to rectify from C level team. Layoffs were incredibly impersonal but severance was generous

Pros

-Great team, folks are nice and the people who make up the creative team are all dedicated and lovely -Lyft occasionally has cool projects

Cons

-Recent layoff affected folks who were holding up many teams; that decision felt unappreciative of the years and years they put in. The team is barely staying afloat and morale is low -The creative work is very restricted and does not embrace your perspective -Work gets very tedious and boring
