Pros

- Smart coworkers - Impactful, interesting projects and lots of scope for responsibility and growing your career - Interesting domain - Financially doing better than ever, shame that this happened as I was leaving already

Cons

- Poor decisions from executive team over the years though new CEO seems promising. Company was previously too bloated considering the profit margins.

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.
