Pros

- Great work-life balance - The founders care about employees and the most humble unicorn founders I have seen

Cons

- It feels like the company over indexes on 'being nice'. Needs to trim areas of the business that aren't valuable

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.
