Pros

- Great benefits, although no bonus and no 401k matching - Flexible schedules with good work life balance - Things are always changing which keeps work interesting and challenging

Cons

- Leaders and HR people put in roles with no previous experience. Even the CHRO hasn't been a CHRO before, but Google experience gets you put on top at Lyft. - Mean girl culture is REAL, especially in recruiting and especially for people of color. Gossip, playing favorites, throwing others under the bus were all qualities of the recruiting leaders at Lyft. These issues are never addressed and actually get rewarded via promotions. - The closed door promotion process is ridiculous. If you aren't out there brown nosing, you never get promoted. It's all about you who know at Lyft .
