Pros

Good pay, good benefits, that's about it

Cons

Company makes their political affiliations very well known, and it is deeply integrated into the culture. So many of who I worked with were overly sensitive brats, and passive aggressive bullies. They have an "unlimited PTO" policy which sounds great in theory, but they have you track your time and you almost feel guilty taking time off. I'd rather just have an accrued amount of time I'm entitled to than having my manager having to work closely with me to make sure I don't abuse the unlimited time off. Promotions are basically non-existent.

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.
