The Culture At Lyft
Information provided by the company
At Lyft, community is what we are and it's what we do. It's what makes us different. To create the best ride for all, we start in our own community by creating an open, inclusive, and diverse organization where all team members are recognized for what they bring. Ride by ride, we're changing the way our world works. We imagine a world where cities feel small again and where transportation and tech bring people together, instead of apart. We see the future as community-driven - and it starts with you.
Show MoreYou consistently own the work, focus on delivering impact and reimagine what's possible - you make it happen. And you do it with a great sense of humor and an excitement to change the face of ridesharing.

What Do You Like About Working There?
Working aloneWhat DON'T You Like About Working There?
You will rack up TONS of mileage on your car. Be prepared for verbal support but ZERO actual support. If someone vomits in your car Lyft will find a reason NOT to pay for the cleaning fee. If you have a bad experience with an actual Lyft employee, you will get micromanaged, the asset protection folks will suggest you need to follow up with them, and they will indirectly threaten your job. The company is a nice idea, but in actuality the job is hell. If you stick to holidays (including Valentines and Halloween) you will make a lot of money.What Are Your Favorite Benefits/Perks?
