Pros

Strong brand, many people motivated by the mission

Cons

Senior execs had become disconnected from employees and mission, constant attempt to copy Uber rather than innovate. Fundamentally many empolyees are unmotivated to help and work collaboratively as everyone is always behind the 8 ball in terms of their own projects and initiatives due to a lack of goal orientation and resourcing.

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.
