People are great, leadership is terrible
I came to Lyft for mentorship, ownership, and to improve my engineering skills. Overall, I think that was achieved, but the quality of the overall environment has been trending downwards the entire time I’ve been here.
Coworkers are great; you work with some truly smart people. Good work-life balance. Ownership of your projects.

Expectations of growth even though there’s not much scope past senior.
Currently seeing a lot of burnout and attrition.
