Pros

- chill working hours - generous salary, top 10% for data scientist - decisions in industry - chill coworkers, everyone prioritizes life over work (as they should)

Cons

- can be chaotic work structure - base salary only grew ~2-3% this year - thank goodness they're generous with equity - covid kind of messed things up for a while

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.
