Pros

Employees value one another and work together as one team to accomplish goals and drive results as we support our internal and external customers. Work/life balance, great benefits, empowering culture, innovative and creative co-workers working alongside you - and the ability to truly partner to create and influence and leave your mark - just to name a few!

Cons

Lyft is located in downtown Nashville, parking is available and traffic can be heavier at times, something to consider

Pros

Plenty of snacks. Discount on Lyft.

Cons

Lyft hired 172 H-1B and other visa holders in 2017. Almost all of them in Tech. Lyft's 2017 head count was about 1500. Of those, about 40% (about 600) were techies. That means Lyft almost exclusively hired foreign Techies in 2017. In 2018 (January 1 to July 7), they have so far hired 136 foreign tech workers - to the detriment of Americans.
