Pros: Good pay and bonus for sign-on and everything.

Cons: A kind of dry work environment.

Pros: Great team – good at what they do and fun to be with. I look forward to seeing my team at work. Most of the people at Lyft are very friendly, willing to help you, and better socially than the stereotypical engineer. High technical quality. There are some very good engineers at Lyft who I can learn from. Fast-paced: There aren't many organizational barriers (as opposed to a larger company) to shipping code. You don't need to go through a hierarchy to get an idea across. At the same time, there is enough infrastructure (definitely could be better, but better than nothing) that you can mostly focus on your job (assuming you're not an infrastructure engineer) instead of figuring out your environment (e.g., why deploys don't work, problems with the data platform). High impact to effort ratio. There were four server engineers on my team (two at one point), and we shipped a completely new product. Good compensation (good enough that I never think about this. I only remembered when I had to rate my compensation down below).

Cons: - The development environment can still be improved. - A few teams need to work quite long hours, so work-life balance is harder to get right.

Pros: The most friendly and rewarding working experience I've ever had! I had the opportunity to work on exciting projects. I collaborated with top engineers and designers in the field. My work had a big impact. Competitive salary and perks. Awesome office space.

Cons: If I had to pick one, it might be that everything is moving and changing very quickly due to Lyft's incredible growth.
