Pros

I loved my team, the flexibility was great, and amazing TC.

Cons

The company wasn't doing well when I joined, with most pointing to poor decision-making among the leadership as the biggest cause. Even though I wasn't a first-hand witness to this, I got the gist from managers that the company had no clear or inspiring direction/objectives.

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.
