Pros

Ridiculously easy and good work life balance because they can't figure out priorities or initiatives that last for more than 5 minutes

Cons

- Led by total imbeciles - The entire company makes fun of the CEO during town hall, not at all motivational and laughable - layoff after layoff after layoff after layoff...... - cut total comp in half after joining - major issues coming to them given the incompetent sh*t show running the sinking ship - toxic culture - benefits and comp are a joke compared to legitimate tech companies - management is on a serious power trip

Pros

Meaningful projects. Good science community environment. Good work life balance.

Cons

Company's primary focus is still on ride-sharing business so stock price does not go up.

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.
