Pros

A bunch of very smart and kind people. Best culture in tech.

Cons

Rapidly losing market share and due to years of soft feature launches and unable to land anything that doesn't generate revenue in the short term, there isn't much long term investment that can now be used for strength. New CEO will turn the ship around, but it will be a long time before it can be done.

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.
