"Gender Discrimination Lawsuit Targets Pokémon Go Developer Niantic"

Niantic, the developer of Pokémon Go, is facing a lawsuit alleging a "systemic sexual bias" against women employees. The lawsuit claims that the company devalues the work of its female employees, favors male employees, underpays women, and pushes out those who speak out against these conditions. The plaintiff, a former employee, discovered she was being paid less than a male colleague in a lower job title. The lawsuit also highlights a hostile response from management when concerns about sexism and pay inequity were raised. Niantic's Chief Marketing Officer allegedly required the removal of references to a "Boys Club" and other comments about sexism from an employee resource group's presentation.
