      If you got a Performance Improvement Plan - there is no-to-little chance you'll make it. Prepare to leave.

      Pros

      Big name, good tech, lovely local (Minsk site) management.

      Cons

      Lyft tries to be the "old good start-up", but in fact, it's a strict and streamlined corporation. They'll fire you in a day if your direct report wishes to. Lyft top management preferred to not see the humanitarian crisis in Belarus 2020 after the protests because of electoral fraud. There was no support, almost not a word. There was no way to escalate career-related conflicts. That leads you to be a hostage of your report, leading to stress, and depression.

      Company unsuccessful at executing to its potential. Frustrating if you're ambitious.

      Pros

      You work with a team of young, kindhearted people. If you're happy with coasting at your job, you could easily fly under the radar.

      Cons

      This is a company that on the surface presents itself as the nice guy of the industry, but routinely underpays its employees and is wrought with internal politics, causing the company to stagnate. It cuts the rates of the drivers without a second thought, even though the livelihoods of actual people depend on those numbers they play around with. If you don't care about how the company performs and are just looking for a FT job, you could find a good home here. But if you're looking to make your mark on the world, this is not the place to do it.
