      Pros

      • bagel Wednesdays • small engineering teams made it generally easy to do good work • they made efforts to have All Hands be relevant to most people • lunches were pretty good

      Cons

      • didn't compensate their early employees well • didn't make a point to make up for the poor compensation over the years • later employees with less experience and less knowledge about the company were given many times more in compensation due to the competitive employee market

      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.
