I 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.

I have been working at Lyft full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
-Huge opportunity for impact all across the company
-Great blend of product leadership expertise from Goog/FB and operational expertise from transportation behemoths.
-The person sitting next to you really wants to be there and generally believes in the vision.
Cons
-Hyper growth has lead to kingdom building and posturing amongst head butting executives.
-Your experience may vary by organization. The major levers of the business are allocated resources that some groups see pulled.
Advice to Management
You have done an outstanding job managing growth at such a breakneck speed. Double down on your culture investment - this is a huge part of what brings the vision together amidst the noise of scaling the business and the rideshare market.

I have been working at Lyft full-time
Pros
Solid PM, data, and eng orgs
Health insurance not bad, Lyft credit is good
Generally good execution and things move fast
Lots of experienced leadership joining from other companies
Cons
Feels penny smart and pound foolish: No 401k match, low salary compared to other companies
Focus on feelings and sentiment over practicality and quality (ie things like car quality)
Not sure what the local teams do and why we have so many of them. People get defensive when this is asked. It's not like we are managing different countries with different cultures, this is cities in the same country.
Not a fun environment. I don't see many people hanging out at work. It feels super politically correct and sjw.
Supporting functions like marketing and ops aren't that good
Advice to Management
Pay at the top of the market or at least close to it. SF is a competitive market.
What's the next thing? Ride share in the US is nearly saturated. We need new verticals and adjacent businesses.
Don't hold all hands so late in the afternoon.
