Pros

Niantic is building a state of the art AR + Real World game platform that enables massive scale for rich interactions of hundreds of millions of users. The mission, culture, and values of the company are all positives. The driving mission is to build technologies and ideas that foster people to get outside, explore and get exercise. The senior management team is very experienced and has a long-term perspective giving employees an amazing opportunity to grow their careers. If you are interested in working with consumer products and the cutting edge of augmented reality I would recommend investing time getting to know the company.

Cons

None. In my experience, this is a great place to work.

Great company with a focused mission

Pros

- The company is very focused and driven to accomplish its goals - Management, including the CEO, stays in close communication, often having weekly "all hands" meetings to discuss what various teams have accomplished. Lots of "shout outs" during the meetings that give praise for people's hard work (from all departments). This is close to non-existent at larger companies where praise is limited to a select few individuals on a quarterly or annual cadence. - Great start-up atmosphere in downtown San Francisco - Company leads in its genre and has tremendous opportunity - Employees care deeply about their work and helping the company grow/ get better

Cons

Nothing that isn't a natural byproduct of working for a start-up. It's a growing start-up so if there is a preference for pre-established structure and process, then it may not be the right company. Many would consider this a pro.
