Pros

- Diverse in the sense that there are a lot of people of varying backgrounds across the globe - Leadership truly believes in its mission - Employees are super passionate, and will stick up for causes they believe in. - Company still runs like a well funded startup: great benefits, equity in the company, it can feel like a family at times, solid work life balance (2 weeks for pandemic leave, moving towards a hybrid office-home working environment) - Leadership is very accessible: every week there is a flavor of a "company townhall"

Cons

- Not diverse enough for African Americans - Leadership truly believes in its mission even it causes angst among product users and employees - Employees are super passionate, sometimes to the point not letting go of a sticky point like a dog with a bone. Sometimes having a strong opinion can be detrimental to overall progress. - Company still runs like a well funded startup: lack of documentation, processes feel inconsistent, can feel like some decisions are revenue driven even when leadership says otherwise - Leadership is very accessible which feels like they are being transparent but they aren't. Big decisions still take place behind privileged doors.

Pros

The work is interesting and challenging in a good way. There are lots of exciting products and projects in development. The company is focused on the big long term opportunity. The exec team really cares about the employees and Niantics in general are cool.

Cons

The company is growing quickly with lots of projects in development. Some teams end up getting better staffed than others.
