Vantaggi

- passionate coworkers - ok benefits

Svantaggi

- CEO is a software guy that doesn’t understand games or entertainment and meddles in the decision making of people that do - the ARGeo platform is prioritized above all else, even PGO. If you don’t give them what they want, prepare for your career to stall - the company doesn’t believe in designed experiences. All products are shallow because they treat their artists and designers like third class citizens - very little actual mentoring and career guidance happens at the company - DEI is lip service - sexism and favoritism runs rampant in annual reviews. See the ongoing lawsuit - hybrid policy was forced on employees despite major productivity gains when we were WFH. - the CEO has final approval of remote exemption requests. A massive waste of everyone’s time.

Vantaggi

Truly one of the best companies I have worked for! There is a genuine care for our people, our culture and DEI. There has been a lot of change over the past few years, but our commitment to our mission, our people and our players has remained constant. We have a solid core leadership team and although the integration into Scopely has been a journey, who we are remains true and is showing up in everything we do. Honored to work here - best job of my professional career.

Svantaggi

RTO and some recent changes in benefits through the Scopely acquisition

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
