Pros

Lyft is remarkably non-corporate for a company of its size. I almost never had to put up with BS as a data scientist, I was always able to make my case and be heard clearly. Everyone was really collaborative, and when I had to go on medical leave, the amount of support I had from my team was astounding. Also, the management structure for DS roles (report to a manager on the Science team but be embedded on the particular engineering team) worked really well for me- having a manager who knew my methods, and a team that was working with me to apply them, is very sensible.

Cons

Obviously they're under a great amount of stress while COVID-19 is decimating their revenue, and I don't know whether anything has changed since April.

Pros

You can make over $100 per day most of the time and you meet some nice people for the most part.

Cons

They stop paying you what you earn out of nowhere, then play dumb about it. All reps are Indian and very dismissive. The in app gps glitches constantly and sends you everywhere via the interstate, which forces you to spend more on gas. Riders make things up to get a free ride, which leads to the driver getting deactivated.
