RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Lyft (More than a year)
Pros
Employees value one another and work together as one team to accomplish goals and drive results as we support our internal and external customers. Work/life balance, great benefits, empowering culture, innovative and creative co-workers working alongside you - and the ability to truly partner to create and influence and leave your mark - just to name a few!
Cons
Lyft is located in downtown Nashville, parking is available and traffic can be heavier at times, something to consider
Advice to Management
Continue what you are doing - continue to empower and upLYFT your employees and our customers to reach out fullest potential and drive creative solutions.

Pros
Own schedule. No boss.
Cons
Not a steady income. Your vehicle depreciates at a higher rate than your earnings.
Advice to Management
Lyft is a great job when you are in between jobs or are looking to make extra money to subsidize your income. I would not recommend anyone to make this your sole source of income or a long term job. It is not sustainable. I am grateful to them for the opportunity to make some side money. They are a far better company that Uber.

Pros
John and Logan seems to be great people! The company pushes forward thinking goals and is empathetic to it's users.
Cons
The leadership/management teams in some departments are very junior. Many were promoted as a result of being with the company from it's early stages and just don't have the expertise in scaling processes and programs and with managing larger teams.
Advice to Management
Reevaluate the leaders and managers you have in place. Determine whether they are still qualified to be in their positions with the massive growth that is happening within the company. Bring in leaders that have experience working in larger organizations or have expertise scaling startups.

Pros
Make your own schedule, can meet some real nice people
Cons
Hard on your car, rating system is like judging people, you spend almost 300 on gas you have to drive all day to make good money you spend more time in your car then with family, some people find the smallest things to complain about my biggest rating I always get is my car is not clean, no I don’t run to the car wash every day I have at least 20 people in and out my car daily so they track dirt into my car and people complain about it I’m always getting trash left in my car I don’t recommend no one to do this full time I have gained over 50 pounds since I been doing this my I see my car more than I see my children some people don’t have respect for your car it can be draining driving all day in circles you can go hrs without no rides coming through you can make good money but if you providing on your own by the end of the week once gas food and all bills are paid you back to zero, car maintenance catches up with you pretty fast I get a oil change once a month I been doing it for a yr now I started off with 40000 miles I now have 150000 I’m try to get out
Advice to Management
Drop the ratings, help people get their car fix Instead of offering rental car

"Don't Bother Applying. Lyft Hires Only H-1B Visa Workers."

Doesn't RecommendI have been working at Lyft full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Plenty of snacks. Discount on Lyft.
Cons
Lyft hired 172 H-1B and other visa holders in 2017. Almost all of them in Tech. Lyft's 2017 head count was about 1500. Of those, about 40% (about 600) were techies. That means Lyft almost exclusively hired foreign Techies in 2017. In 2018 (January 1 to July 7), they have so far hired 136 foreign tech workers - to the detriment of Americans.
Advice to Management
In this day and age, your bad corporate behavior gets you bad reviews for the world to see. So clean up your act.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Lyft full-time
Pros
Laid back working environment, Pay is ok, meeting new people on a daily basis. Fun events
Cons
Not much upward mobility so get comfortable in your position. Working with non professionals with rental partners. Training new people without compensation and also training individuals that will be promoted. A lot of micro managing and unconsistency throughout entire company. New rules now enforced with uniforms and cell phone policies.
Advice to Management
How can you see how employees work when you spend most of your time at the Hub?
