Pros

good base salary (bigtech level)

Cons

Total shitshow. - management thinks they are godly and everyone in the world is waiting for their tech to arrive to use it (John Hanke is decent but the platform SVP - Brian: ugh) - directors, SVPs are worse. The only ones staying in the spatial spin off are the ones sucking up the staff : zero creativity or problem orientation, just play politics and “alliances” to keep each others careers afloat” - the spatial spin off has no product market fit, no revenue, no customer orientation and no AI researchers!!!! (After raising on behest of AI) Basically Scopely bought the entire company for $3.5B and just retained games. Platform was bought for $0 but they spun off to basically sell the company for talent/data. Their research unfortunately is not even that great. If I have one word for everything Niantic, that would be DELUSIONAL.
