Pros

Transparent, great people to work with, a lot to learn, great company values, the company really pushes for their employees to succeed, they have great benefits. PTO for full time workers is unlimited and for hourly workers the pto is still pretty good. Last time I was there they had free lunches and credit for Lyft but I think that has changed now. They have good health benefits. The environment is really welcoming. Full stocked kitchen, team building exercises, funds for holiday and cultural parties. You really feel like you are a part of something big, and everyday is exciting, fun and inspiring. Everyone there was a big family with similar shared values. You were encouraged to be yourself. I really enjoyed my time at Lyft and I would go back given the opportunity. Everyone was responsible for they work they did.

Cons

They give their employees a lot of work. One of the operations exec was really arrogant, rude and condescending to others. Upper management seriously lacks diversity. In fact the whole company lacks diversity. You will only find diversity in the hourly jobs. Sometimes things can be very disorganized, and chaotic not in a good way but in a very bad way. Lyft is not pro-active instead they tend to follow behind Uber, which was very discouraging because this company has potential. They hired a lot of people in upper management who had no idea what they were doing here. Cramped office space that often made things awkward at times. There were communication problems within the company.

Pros

Academic environment that has a lot of interesting science problems from mapping, optimization, plus all the usual user metrics. Rewarding and complex problems that often have a lo t of tradeoff.

Cons

For how good the ICs are, leadership is equally bad. Just riddled with poor decisions top/down. Also given the current state, Uber is just too strong of a competitor and you feel that pressure every day.
