Pros

Flexible PTO, great health insurance, amazing co-workers, autonomy (for a while), and the snacks were nice.

Cons

Frequent org restructures, salary is too low, management doesn't care about employees (especially if you're not part of their 'crew'), stock is worthless, Engineers and Product are treated better than any other roles, overworked and under paid.

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.
