Working at Lyft in San Francisco, CA: 12 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in San Francisco, CA Area

"Love the diversity of the company. Lyft turkey cares about their employees and societies well being. They invest in quality tools and innovation to get the job done. Compensation is a little above average and great benefits."

"I've worked for Lyft since 2016. I really believe in the company's mission, and the people who work there. Post-IPO, the organization is markedly less Customer-focused, and has serious diversity issues and middle-management politics within the engineering org. I genuinely believe leadership is committed to addressing the diversity challenges in front of them, but I don't see strides towards correcting divisive politics."

"I've driven for Lyft since 2019 and I've found that its flexibility as a rideshare driver platform is its most consistently pleasant feature. No room for advancement, but as a temporary source of income, it's hard to beat."

"Great place to be! The people truly live to uplift and support one another while working together to hit the mission to improve the world through transportation. I would not trade my time there for anything."

"Fast pace environment. The company restructured multiple times during my 1.5 years at Lyft. My coworkers and colleagues were a pleasure to work with -- but overall, it seemed like there was more energy placed into re-orgs & and process "improvements", than actually implementing strategies that teams could execute on."

"I've spent about almost a year at Lyft HQ and it has been some of the best learning experiences ever, stepping foot into the Corporate IT enterprise field. Everyone in the company treats you like family and they want to "Up Lyft" others and see you succeed. Lyft is a fun, fulfilling job opportunity that gave me the experience of helping others in need, offering good customer service experience, providing company expectations to all other associates, time management opportunities, great fun, and fast-paced workplace culture.I learned how to think effectively and efficiently in a timely manner and when to escalate certain issues/situations. The hardest part was leaving the job due to COVID-19"

"A software company at heart, Lyft is a difficult place to advance if you are a hardware engineer."

"Lyft needs to work on its Employee/Driver relationships. The line of communication can be better and stronger between the Lyft employees and the independent contractors (the drivers)."

"I've been at Lyft for more than a year. The culture is amazing & the people are motivated to change the world with the work they do."

"Lyft has been a great to company to work for with caring people! The CEO's are inspiring!"

"flat org, no egos - great opportunity for growth - bandwidth, manager always checks in to see if you are overwhelmed or need help - close with lead/management = great opportunity for both parties to grow together and learn from each other, hands off but there when you need - mgmnt always has your best interest in mind and will fight for you - mgmnt goes out of her way to bring culture to office, she genuinely.. Its very flexible. You can work whenever you want or not work without worrying about the schedule. People are generally very friendly. You get paid weekly. Pay is pretty good. Cons Can be hard on your body. Driving gets tiresome. It can also get pretty boring because you constantly have the exact same conversation over and over. Also the management is always threatening to terminate you if you don't have prefect feedback from customers."

"It’s a job. Don’t get your hopes up too high about anything. Even if you do everything correctly you’ll still be confused come review time"
