      Pros

      I grew a ton at Lyft personally and was given all the opportunities I needed. Projects were fun and I felt like I was surrounded by smart people

      Cons

      Leadership is so risk adverse it can slow down your work as an IC. Overtime, it's felt like the average quality of engineer has gone down as well

      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.
