Yes, a large number of researchers at at the CMU NREC facility left to work (literally across the street) for Uber. NREC works mainly on DOD projects, and with the recent contraction of federal funding it is not surprising that this happened. However, the researchers there for the most part are not teaching or advising faculty, and NREC is a self-funded entity, so the effects on the rest of the campus are limited. So NREC is having a bit of a crisis, as they may be shorthanded for their current grants.
