Brevemente, descreva a sua experiência com a sua Companhia
O que você mais gosta sobre a liderança da empresa?
They seem to genuinely care
A nice blend between responsive and laid back. Work life balance is as important as technical excellence and growth. This is a company with a very balanced perspective.
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.
The leadership team is very transparent and sticks to commitments.
I like the optimism ELT has
O que a equipe de líderes precisa para ficar melhor?
Listening to people rather than not
listening not just to their own echo chambers
I wish we could be more transparent about upcoming projects/R&D work. Some of it has to be private and I understand that, but I would like a deeper view into what's going on.
Continue to improve fluid communications
Agreed - and thanks!
Qual a melhor parte da remuneração?
The equity is fair and i have a lot of hope for it.
My stock benefits are pretty good. Everything else is pretty standard.
Reasonable stock option for starter.
Benefits are amazing for a company this size
Comparable to top of the field compensation package.
No que você se sente desvalorizado e como você se sentiria melhor?
Me and colleagues all report feeling we are paid below market value and subject to game industry crunch. There is huge gaps in compensation between mid level and senior level employees.
Compared to similar offers that I have seen from other companies, my Niantic offer was lower. I negotiated up a bit in my offer but its still lower than other companies in the area (Microsoft, Google, Snapchat, etc)
The company needs to review compensation more frequently so consistent high performers are recognized appropriately.
Quais são algumas das melhores coisas da sua equipe?
A very strong and competent team. Ambitious.
We have a very good collaborative attitude and it's been nice to expand that beyond my team in recent months.
My team is full of smart people who are great to work with, no ego and no gate keeping.
growth encouraging and fault-tolerant team.
Very exciting to work with super talented people.
O que os seus colegas de trabalho precisam para melhorar e como vocês podem trabalhar juntos?
Not talking to me would be a start. Maybe speak to their customers
More excitement for what we're working on and wanting to help others and themselves get better to make cooler products
We need to build smaller, more focused teams. Right now, my team has about 15 different projects and none of them are very cohesive. I would prefer if we could categorize, prioritize, and split into smaller teams to get a tighter feedback loop.
We're definitely experiencing some growing pains, but I think documentation and software-enforced processes would make the gears interlock more cleanly.
O que há de mais positivo sobre a cultura e ambiente da sua empresa?
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.
Company is sympathetic to many political issues and at the ELT level deeply cares about creating a positive impact on the world through our games
Flat, positive and diverse culture.
Our Diversity and Inclusion commitment, our ERG's the community within the larger community.
The culture is all about Games, Fitness, Being Out in the World, Inclusion of all people, and much more. There is always a group of like minded people around.

O que você mais gostou sobre o processo de entrevista?
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.
The transparency of the recruiter and regular check-ins during every stage of the interview.
Focusing on candidate's expertise and vision.
My recruiter was the sweetest and most thoughtful person in the world
My interview process allowed me to meet most of the team that I would be working with. I was asked a series of code theory questions (as opposed to algorithms/traditional "can you code" questions). I enjoyed this a lot more than just coding and being judged on style/syntax.

O que você mais gosta sobre a sua companhia?
I like that they're trailblazing AR technologies which is going to be the future of tech once things like apple glasses and headsets replace our phones
