I've been happier as I've worked there longer and figured out how to navigate its particular idiosyncrasies. I think I've finally found a path towards the career growth I'd like within Niantic. And the folks I work with are pretty awesome.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
My stock benefits are pretty good. Everything else is pretty standard.
What makes you most happy at work?
Not having too many meetings meaning I can focus on my work.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We have a very good collaborative attitude and it's been nice to expand that beyond my team in recent months.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I think their large vision is something I can get behind. Their attempts at more transparency are appreciated though I think it's still not as transparent as it needs to be.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Felt like I was getting a good opportunity to get to know the team and folks I'd eventually be working with day to day. The team was much smaller at the time though.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
We have a pretty good culture in terms of supporting each other. We try to help get our teammates unblocked in their work. This may be particular to my own team and the teams I interact with since I brought a lot of changes to how we collaborate to the organization when I joined.
