Pros

Lyft is a fun company to work for and does a good job of getting employees to buy into their relaxed tech-corporate culture. They're great at making building an inclusive and diverse atmosphere where you feel comfortable being yourself. No dress code, lots of snacks and drinks, great benefits and perks with a cool office and they seem to genuinely be trying to create a healthy work-life balance.

Cons

Some of the upper management can be out of touch with their lower level employees and at times make bottom-dollar decisions that seem un-transparent and directionless to their subordinates instead of what's best for their workers. Even before the pandemic they were already cutting costs and benefits that made the company less appealing and the pandemic only accelerated that. Corporate politics became more and more present in my 3+ years there which interfered with my own development and career progression.

Pros

Meaningful projects. Good science community environment. Good work life balance.

Cons

Company's primary focus is still on ride-sharing business so stock price does not go up.

Pros

Academic environment that has a lot of interesting science problems from mapping, optimization, plus all the usual user metrics. Rewarding and complex problems that often have a lo t of tradeoff.

Cons

For how good the ICs are, leadership is equally bad. Just riddled with poor decisions top/down. Also given the current state, Uber is just too strong of a competitor and you feel that pressure every day.
