Lyft

Relaxed, easygoing, chill culture where you can get away with anything.

The stronger personalities (of which there are few) seem to win out at this company. There's a lack of ability to have honest, forthcoming conversations about career growth or writing better code, and too much time is spent battling silly PRs arguing about spaces and line breaks.

Not to mention, the general vibe here is a "kiddy" one. Want to have a serious discussion about your code? Expect to battle silly jokes, lame humor, and a general sense of childishness.

I've literally been on calls where people have hissy fits, and the manager sits idly by. "Diversity hires" (I mean no offense by this phrase) have incredible allowances to write poorly designed code and offer poor feedback on PRs. I like writing and improving my code, but I spend most weeks arguing about things like spaces and code formatting instead of actually building and releasing well-thought-out code.

Start standing up for yourselves.

Stop letting egos drive the culture.
