Community Associate
Dec 8, 2016 - Community Associate in Seattle, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Free meals. Lunch is catered, lots of free snacks, booze and coffee. Everyone in the office is happy to work OT and are bought into the culture and company.
Cons
CAs are treated like garbage! Everyone else in the office enjoys their job and gets the full experience of working at Lyft. For a technology company, CAs use the worst of what's available, CHROMEBOOKS. I would advise anyone looking to work at Lyft as a CA to just retail instead or get a job as a human punching bag, practically the same thing.

Pros
Lyft is an organically nice company to work for. The central culture of the company is good natured with a focus on social responsibility and sustainability. The company has good 'bones' in technology and core values.
Cons
Lyft suffers from a constant identity crisis. While the core product is ride share, there are too many differing view points about what it should become. I think the current footprint of Lyft is one of survival which can limit growth.

Great company to work for. Excellent leadership team. Always felt included/heard by management. Great opportunity to contribute to building the community.

Like any company there are shortcomings. Fast growth means there can be growing pains and also going public changes the corporate culture in a major way.

Amazing work culture, great benefits
Mar 28, 2016 - Anonymous Employee in Nashville, TNRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Lyft has an amazing company culture that will make you excited to head to work. The people are amazing, and the benefits are great.
Cons
Be sure that you ask about your scheduling, as most jobs in (at Nashville HQ) are not your typical M-F, 9-5 positions.

Startup environment with room to grow and develop your career.
Oct 14, 2017 - Trust & Safety Specialist in Nashville, TNRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Always new areas of opportunity! As the company grows and develops, so can you. Open and accepting with a great culture.
Cons
Competitive and you must stay scrappy. This is not a place where you can coast. Scheduling may be unique as they have multiple departments in which they ask for 24/7 staffing.

Cons
The teams and reporting structures change frequently.

Fast paced, great place for an ambitious engineer
Jan 6, 2018 - Software Engineer in Seattle, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- Get to work on projects that have a direct impact on passengers/drivers and business bottom line. Everything FEELS important. - Culture of openness: you have opportunities to review and contribute on system designs across the company. Feedback is welcomed. - 'You build it, you run it' culture, creates a sense of ownership and improves code quality - Decent deployment process (unit tests, code coverage, CI, monitoring), value placed on code quality. - Company values and gives back to OSS community (check out Envoy) - Good leveling track for individual contributor engineers - Regular company wide meetings to communicate important problems/projects/etc - Diversity/inclusion is a priority for the organization
Cons
- Fast pace is not for everyone. If you come here expecting to coast you might be disappointed.
