Pros

- really good wlb - opportunities for a growth - you can make impact if you want to

Cons

expect a lot of coordination and cross func alignment but it is usual for big companies recently closed hubs in Poland & Germany, looks like they want to reduce presence in EU and focus on Noth America hubs

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.
