      I worked at Lyft full-time for more than 2 years

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, some smart people, genuinely looking to do good in the world, diverse

      Cons

      Terrible pay, hierarchical and awful leadership, lack of transparency and downward communication, toxic office culture (not all offices)

      Advice to Management

      Pay people well, hire smarter leaders with a proven track record (not JMac, john or Logan), go back to your roots and make the organization more flat, hire really smart people like Uber, google and fb (frequently amazed at the number of idiots that worked there)

      I worked at Lyft full-time for more than 2 years

      Pros

      Constant change and quickly growing

      Cons

      Pay is horrible. For people who have families, student loans, mortgages etc, it is barely a living wage. For a position that requires intimate knowledge of the platform and the acumen to support drivers 9 hours a day, you would think that Lyft would pay them a reasonable wage.

      I worked at Lyft full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Truly some of the best people I've ever worked with. It's an exciting time for the product and the company is in hyper growth so there is a lot to do and a lot to learn.

      Cons

      Management is not the best at all levels. Transparency is extremely low for everything from high level questions about diversity all the way to personal development and reviews.

      Pros

      Most of your coworkers are great and there to support each other, great office downtown, lots of snacks.

      Cons

      Seen as a number rather than a person by upper management. They pretend to listen to the concerns or advice by the CEAs, but when it comes to changes they typically do the opposite. Compensation was stagnant, especially with more companies moving into the area offering more money.

      Discounts on rides, "unlimited PTO", cell phone reimbursement.

      Unable to take PTO due to management not wanting to cover vacations.

      Engage with employees, work along side of them not via reports and numbers.
