Pays well for what it is, which is a low stress job. Coworkers and culture are great.

Hard to move things forward because of politics. Unless you know the right people, don't expect your career to grow very fast.

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.
