Pros

I grew a ton at Lyft personally and was given all the opportunities I needed. Projects were fun and I felt like I was surrounded by smart people

Cons

Leadership is so risk adverse it can slow down your work as an IC. Overtime, it's felt like the average quality of engineer has gone down as well
