I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Niantic
Interview
I had 12 rounds of interviews and then waited 2 months to be told I wasn't a "culture fit." No updates along the way and a very frustrating experience overall.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly personal questions for the interviewers to decide if they liked me or not. No questions around the business challenges or the qualities they were looking for in the role.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Niantic in Oct 2022
Interview
The process started with a phone screen with a recruiter. After that, I had a single 45 minute coding interview which was followed by an interview loop of 3 - 4 interviews, 1 of which was a behavioral interview and touched on Niantic's values.
