Pros

- Nice people that you work with but doesn't save you from feeling horrible

Cons

- Managers are very manipulative - No alignment across departments and xfn partners - Leadership struggles to craft a solid vision and build upon - You feel like a commodity. Managers pretend genuine to get what they want but they do not care about you at all - ICs get burnouts all the time - No growth, at all. Directors gatekeep a lot and use budget as a response while they continue hiring more people and still make you do 2-3 people's work - Unorganized product team - Pay is ****

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.
