Pros

People know PokemonGo and the brand Niantic so it seems like a 'cool' place to work

Cons

*Little opportunity to grow or understand why decisions are made. *Huge initial investment in 'big' products but when things go off rails, leadership continues to pretend things are going okay instead of giving support or stopping progression -- until the product inevitably gets dropped. *Leadership is inconsistent, confusing and what they say doesn't match what they do *Regardless of face time, little change or opportunity to make a great impact UNLESS of course you are part of the sacred leadership (which I mean at the very top) *Ultimately not a place to grow skills that will be applicable outside the company unless you are one of the lucky ones or in leadership *A massive disappointment that took years of my experience because I kept the hope alive for too long.

Pros

Almost every engineer is a competent and smart bunch. I'm always learning something new every day.

Cons

Competing with giants like Fb in the AR space is hard. Struggling to diversify revenue base which mostly comes from PokemonGo
