Pros

Great benefits, great core values, nice office.

Cons

Very little notice given to employees when shift schedules change. Lyft core values look great on paper, but are not practiced in Nashville office. Leadership run the office like a popularity contest. If you are an employee in the "in" crowd you have it made, but if you are outside the "in" crowd, Lyft core values go out the window and you are treated very differently.

Pros

- dog friendly office - catered lunch and dinner - all the snacks you could want - dedicated and intelligent co-worker's - easily accessible executives - large opportunity for mentorship

Cons

- many management decisions are poorly thought through (ex. The move to Nashville for some teams on operations weakened the support team as members who were not chosen to stay moved on to other opportunities, leaving the remaining members to pick up the slack during a busy holiday time with an increased volume of work) - communication across teams is very weak - upper level management can be "out of touch" with mid to lower level employees - little transparency from upper level management
