Pros

-Great team, folks are nice and the people who make up the creative team are all dedicated and lovely -Lyft occasionally has cool projects

Cons

-Recent layoff affected folks who were holding up many teams; that decision felt unappreciative of the years and years they put in. The team is barely staying afloat and morale is low -The creative work is very restricted and does not embrace your perspective -Work gets very tedious and boring

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.
