Good news for the researchers (and academics in general, as the knock-on effect of this event should increase their overall market value. An alternative to a life of academia is clearly out there). Honestly, the only thing I'd be concerned about is working for Uber itself. They're a company that has made it clear on multiple occasions that the moment someone is no longer valuable to them, they'll do everything in their power to zero out their responsibilities to that individual. Even if the triple-up-front signing bonus is a good deal now, I hope the researchers they hired aren't thinking Uber is going to be a career for them...
