Pros

No pros. Stay away for the sake of your mental health. This place is run by not nice people.

Cons

This is a place where horrible managers and engineers who have been there before you will hate you for no reason and lay you off.

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.
