Pros

-Working on a great product that people love

Cons

-Lyft is easily the most politically charged company I’ve ever worked for, and in recent years its gotten much worse. The culture that was once there and made lyft well known is an ancient memory, and the current ex-Google leadership has slowly taken over the company. Don’t fall for what Lyft once was. Those days are long gone. -Perf cycles lead to very very low comp increases even if you do incredibly well. So don’t expect much reward for working hard. Which you will be forced to do. -Zero transparency over why decisions are made at the company. Heavily propaganda laden environment as well. -In general don’t go to Lyft if culture, people, or pay are your motivators. These are now Lyft’s biggest weak points, and they will try to sell them as strengths. So beware.
