Vantaggi
Niantic is an incredible place to work. Everything done here is on the absolute cutting edge and your work makes a meaningful difference. Some highlights: - Amazing games, applications, platforms and other technology - Live events, community outreach, social impact and other real world contributions - A corporate culture where everyone supports, enables, and lifts each other up - Knowledgable management, executives, and teams which have both been together a long time but openly invite contributions and new hires - Awesome offices with great perks such as food, coffee, lovely co-workers - There's always a lot of new, interesting work to be done that you won't see in other companies - Everyone works hard and contributes. Niantic hires the best, so you never feel overburdened or that others aren't pulling their weight. - The company shows genuine love for its people and is flexible. It encourages people to travel to events, works with them if things come up, has a history of promoting from within and takes care of employees. In short, I feel truly lucky to work here. For my first couple of months I literally woke up every day thinking 'is this real'? I often feel bad telling my friends about my job because other companies simply can't compare.
Svantaggi
In my experience, the hours have been a little longer than some other companies, but in all honesty, I haven't minded since I love the products and interesting work. If it were ever an issue, I feel confident I could reach out to someone to discuss.
