Pros

The compensation is really good. Some projects are actually interrested. Collegues are really strong experts in the field (except few of them).

Cons

Management is terrible. In order to safe company from bankruptcy they do quite strange things. Many projects are dead from the beginning. And because of these some employees are doing fake projects just to be promoted.

Pros

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

Cons

Company's primary focus is still on ride-sharing business so stock price does not go up.

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.
