Pros

Drove some interesting and weird but fun people. You will meet lots of personalities. If your social or as a side hussle when got nothing else going on maybe this is for you.

Cons

The pay rate in some areas are very low and you will wear out your personal car, also with gas prices in California maybe not worth it anymore.

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.
