Pros

- Smart and affable clients. - Company takes diversity seriously (though other reviewers disagree). - Offices and food were nice. - Senior management was engaged.

Cons

-Legal department is cliquey internally, and also isolated from the rest of the company. Advancement is unclear, and teams are middle-heavy. -Little to no process, RACI basically ad hoc. Given the risks built into product/business model, without clear RACI (or at least without clear adoption thereof) too much devolves into CYA. - That CYA is tedious and critical, as other teams will scapegoat when their projects aren't going smoothly. - The deadline is always yesterday, the new initiative you're being asked to consult on will start on "oh we actually kind of already started," and is being lead by someone probably.

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.
