Pros

Lyft has an amazing company culture that will make you excited to head to work. The people are amazing, and the benefits are great.

Cons

Be sure that you ask about your scheduling, as most jobs in (at Nashville HQ) are not your typical M-F, 9-5 positions.

Pros

- Has great perks: $175 lyft credit, commuter benefits, free snacks and lunch, personal macbook, full access to Udemy courses, One Medical Membership, discounts on select items

Cons

- You have to deal with lots of office politics - No transparency - There is a lack of communication between different teams - Salary is not competitive for roles throughout the company - No opportunity for promotion or growth - Certain teams are looked down upon. There is definitely a hierarchy - and people make it known openly - On my direct team, it's a consensus that upper management is trying to make us quit - versus paying us severance. Several months previous, the majority of my direct team was laid off and outsourced.
