Response from Niantic
Agreed!
We've managed to assemble a team of capable, positive and motivated individuals.
Very friendly and helpful attitude, they listen to constructive suggestions and happily follow up on what has been agreed upon.
Review from Engineering Dept
Supportive, ambitious, close-knit, and funny
My team is collaborative and pragmatic, excited about working cross-functionally and finding creative solutions to tough problems.
The team's the major highlight: extremely intelligent, but almost no arrogance. Much more multidimensional than a lot of engineering teams. Everyone has a real passion for the product. Lots of former Googlers on the team. Interesting discussions with coworkers. Great people!
Our team develops client and server platform software, so there's a wide range of skills around the team.

The teams are made up of high skilled and motivated people, who are also open and respectful communicators.
Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Not talking to me would be a start. Maybe speak to their customers
More excitement for what we're working on and wanting to help others and themselves get better to make cooler products
We need to build smaller, more focused teams. Right now, my team has about 15 different projects and none of them are very cohesive. I would prefer if we could categorize, prioritize, and split into smaller teams to get a tighter feedback loop.
Review from Engineering Dept
We're definitely experiencing some growing pains, but I think documentation and software-enforced processes would make the gears interlock more cleanly.
