Pros

Good benefits and people but the company is a far cry from what it once was. Better tech opportunities out there without the constant threat of layoffs that are now the norm at Lyft.

Cons

Layoffs, constant reorgs, stock compensation continually loses value

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.
