Pros

Really wonderful, talented people work here. I've loved working with my team and our greater org for the most part. Very PC work environment. People can truly be themselves.

Cons

There are some very difficult Product Managers – one in particular who was reported for their behavior and even after an "investigation" still works there. Absolute nightmare to work with and is extremely condescending. Lack of flexibility with permanent remote work. Hybrid models should be optional for those who want it. Trust your employees can do their jobs after an entire year and a half keeping the lights on after multiple layoffs and zero backfills. Attrition leaving others to do jobs outside of their pay grade – without a raise! Constantly reiterating and documenting your work to prove you deserve a *small* raise.

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

Discovering parts of Las Vegas I wouldn't normally visit. Meeting nice people from all over the Valley and the world.

Cons

With the price of gas right now, my pay for using a mid-sized vehicle averaged out to $8 per hour (before taxes), even after 3 "bonuses." This is less than the Nevada minimum wage of $12. Regardless of what the app tells you, Lyft takes about 2/3 of the earnings for each ride, charging both for the rental and extra fees they claim have to do with the cost of car maintenance. Not sure why maintenance and everyday wear wouldn't be handled by Hertz as a normal part of their fleet ownership, as it would with any other rental. Indeed, if you're doing the Express Driver program, you have to take the car for service after getting a voucher from Hertz. On a different note, the number of riders with no picture or fake names is really high in Las Vegas compared to other places where I've driven. This issue has become a safety concern.
