      Pros

      Management seems to care very much about your well being and feelings. They've made it their mission to make sure people feel heard and that the company mission and direction are expressed openly and honestly each week. Throughout the Covid situation, Niantic has been extremely accommodating in the work from home environment. Niantic is a proactive tech company trying to lead the world in AR. They're also a Game Studio. Yet Niantic seems to handle this clash of 2 different cultures well. There is a firm belief in no-crunch. Health insurance coverage is great.

      Cons

      LA Office is not the best physical office/not in the best location. Compensation could be a bit higher as well. Hours for LA office tend to start a little later than normal, and therefore end a little later in the day than I desire.

      Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are truly living in unprecedented times and will do our best to keep on top of Covid and our work from home plan. Our LA studio is doing some amazing work. The office is definitely a quirky and creative work environment but we are growing fast and we expect that our work environment will have to evolve and change as we grow. - Maria Weaver, Chief People Officer

      Pros

      Niantic has a unique mission and works on products that blend technology, gaming, community, and real-world exploration. The people are generally smart, passionate, and collaborative, and there are opportunities to work on creative projects with global impact. The company also offers a good learning environment for those interested in gaming, AR, live operations, and location-based products.

      Cons

      Priorities can shift frequently, which sometimes makes it difficult for teams to stay focused or understand how their work connects to the broader company strategy. Communication from leadership could be clearer, especially during periods of change. Some processes feel reactive rather than proactive, and cross-functional alignment can vary depending on the team.
