Pros

Really smart people - lots of Stanford/MIT Phds, world-class designers. Massive scale - 100 million+ players Truly cutting-edge AR work. Benefits are fantastic.

Cons

Management needs to ensure all teams are informed of all changes. Still has a Google-like "beta" culture and launches features/games too early. Lots of money means politics matters sometimes.

Pros

- Get to work on amazing game titles at the cutting edge of location and AR technology - Everyone is very smart, helpful, and passionate about the products - Since the company is still relatively young you get to have a bigger influence on what gets prioritized and how things get done - Management tries very hard to listen to employee feedback and improve - Company is doing great and on a great trajectory

Cons

- Growing pains; not much process and lots of ambiguity around how to get things done but working hard to improve this and have made good progress! - Aggressive goals and deadlines make work/life balance difficult.
