Pros
- flat org, no egos - great opportunity for growth - bandwidth, manager always checks in to see if you are overwhelmed or need help - close with lead/management = great opportunity for both parties to grow together and learn from each other, hands off but there when you need - mgmnt always has your best interest in mind and will fight for you - mgmnt goes out of her way to bring culture to office, she genuinely cares about her team - Qly offsites!

Pros
Diverse. Freedom. Welcoming no matter your appearance.
Cons
Like any company some folks will steal your ideas and make them "theirs." Sometimes credit isn't given where deserved.

Pros
Pay was good, and let me work flexible hours. Customers I drove were generally nice and friendly. It paid the bills
Cons
Put alot of miles on my car and spent alot of money on gas, even though I was driving a hybrid. Jobs were also hit and miss. Sometimes I would get a dozen jobs an hour, sometimes I would get 1 after 4 hours.

Pros
Some really nice coworkers who genuinely tries to maintain the original Lyft culture it once was. I would say lunch, but they've been cutting back ALOT on budget for food and perks. For example, no holiday parties.
Cons
New executives brought in in hopes to reinventing rideshare to be more than it is, but honestly have not gone anyway since Lyft Line was created a few years ago. Constantly trying to push the wrong agendas such as not focusing on having a strong differentiating strategy or rather some weird gimmick like adding paper bags in rides for people to throw up in. Lack of creative ideas, tons of layoffs because new executives blame old teams for their problems. When more time passes, I swear these new executives and top management will jump ship after destroying everything that Lyft was before. Good luck with the new IPO, peers are now praying someone buys Lyft out.

Distasteful to layoff an entire department without any notice other than the day of. Shows a complete lack of empathy, care, and lack of accountability for your own mistakes.

Pros
They will make what you earn instantly available.
Cons
They will take the customers word for everything without consulting you.
Advice to Management
Your inability to measure both sides in assessing an incident may be what keeps you at no. 2 and what will eventually be your downfall.
