Pros

The benefits here are fantastic. Flexible PTO, great med benefits and great RSU/stock/ESPP opportunities. Cool to be a part of something that has such a big impact.

Cons

Senior leadership, in some departments, is under experienced and it leads to inefficiency and frustration sometimes. Starting to become very corporate. Still had some growing up to do to retain top talent.

Pros

Academic environment that has a lot of interesting science problems from mapping, optimization, plus all the usual user metrics. Rewarding and complex problems that often have a lo t of tradeoff.

Cons

For how good the ICs are, leadership is equally bad. Just riddled with poor decisions top/down. Also given the current state, Uber is just too strong of a competitor and you feel that pressure every day.
