Vantaggi

I had the pleasure of working with some of the most genuine and intelligent people. Many of my closest friendships were formed there. I was able to continually learn from others and work on some interesting technologies and problems. I had the opportunity to work on many teams and roles over my tenure.

Svantaggi

Long hours and complete availability was expected. There was constant arguing and raised voices in meetings. These meetings were three times a week, involved over 15 senior team members, and were generally a waste of time and exhibitions of talking over the one two women in the room. Transparency from executive leadership seems to disappear as the years went by. Regularly in all-hands meetings, questions the team didn't like were skipped in the queue despite many upvotes. Lastly, the company was founded on the idea of community and taking care of each other. Fast forward nine years and they are doing everything they can to avoid supporting the people generating the wealth of the executives. To go one step further, spending millions of dollars on a campaign leading consumers along about preventing fare increases only to raise prices afterwards without having to pay the benefits. Could you be any greedier?

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

Svantaggi

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

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
