      Pros

      - Lots of growth which has meant a lot of learning. - Really smart people around with experience. Again, makes an excellent environment for learning. - People like what they do. A lot of people left large companies to come here because they believe in the platform. - Lots of work to be done, which to me, is a positive — I like being busy.

      Cons

      - Not a lot of transparency with growth and companies milestones. -Our perks arents as competitive as other companies, in my opinion. - Management seems to be stressed a lot

      making people happier and healthier at the world's leading company in AR

      Pros

      - get to work on products that actually deliver on the startup promise of "changing the world in a positive way" - hundreds of millions of people have gotten outside, meeting others, getting healthier and exploring the world on foot thanks to Niantic - created the world's most used AR product by far and is using that success to lead the whole industry into the next generation of AR - get to work with incredibly smart, driven, dedicated people whose experience is uniquely suited to the opportunities of planet-scale AR (such as the founders of Keyhole, which Google acquired and turned into Google Earth) and who care deeply about their users, mission and their team

      Cons

      - none, except too many great opportunities for leading the way in AR to choose from!

      Conflicted startup

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      - They are going to be even more successful than how much they already are, that is without a doubt. - Pay is quite competitive (but this does not matter as much when you consider how much you are actually going to be working once you begin). - The people here are some of the most intelligent people you will ever met. You will make great friendships and learn much from them everyday.

      Cons

      - The most significant con: no work life balance at all. On one hand, this might depend on the manager you have, but on the other hand, everyone in the company is constantly under pressure and there is an overlying sense of tension across the entire company. Though people may talk about attaining work life balance, the fact is that it does not exist here as of yet. - Lackluster medical care options and PTO. 15 days off per year in Silicone Valley. This is just one example that points towards how they do not have the employees in mind. - Incredibly stingy for a very successful startup. No guests allowed to have lunch at headquarters, snacks are lackluster at best, and no company happy hours or events aside from the annual holiday party.
