Pros

-It is so comfortable to work at company thinking to make the world better. I feel product team is thinking to make player happy more than to get profit, which I feel there is a big difference from some other gaming company. -Good salary with good benefit. It may be a standard for SF company, but not for Tokyo! I really enjoy lunch fee aid. submit receipt via app and get money back next month:)

Cons

-Strong English skill with flexibility for working time is required for non-US location employees. These are same for most of international company in Japan, though.

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.
