Pros

Great pay and flexible schedule

Cons

Ware and tear on your vehicle, no compensation for vehicle repairs and have to do working in order to pay for your vehicle so essentially you use up your car and when it comes time for giving it unless you have a savings you will be out a job

Meaningful projects. Good science community environment. Good work life balance.

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.
