Pros

The Unlimited PTOs, Amazing Office , Free lunch everyday

Cons

This place is a modern day Slave ship. They have you work you ridiculously long hours, they preach "work life balance" but doesn't care what happens to you unless the work gets done. They are dishonest in the direction of where they're growing. Especially on the accounting & Finance team. Poor leadership from Lisa (CAO) & Brian (CFO). STAY AWAY!!! They continue to shorten the accounting close without adding resources. The entire accounting team in NY left & A huge Portion of the SF Accounting and Finance team. They talk a good game but STAY AWAY.

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.
