Pokémon Go developer Niantic slammed with sexual bias lawsuit after mass layoffs

After a round of mass layoffs last week that impacted a reported 230 employees and shuttered a Los Angeles office, Niantic is once again under fire after a former employee filed a lawsuit against the company on the basis she was shirked fair pay as Niantic “systemically devalued the work of female employees.”

The lawsuit, filed on July 7 in California by an anonymous former employee, claims Niantic is violating the California Equal Pay Act along with several other fair employment laws in the state and a failure to prevent discrimination within the company.
