I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Niantic (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2022
Interview
Fairly straightforward - had three rounds with people I assume were on different product teams. They asked me about my background, why I would be a good fit for the role, and my experience with gaming. They were very friendly and responsive with emails.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Do you play any games? If so, which ones and why?
Really great experience even though it didn't work out. The hiring manager was extremely nice and interesting. In my case it wasn't a good fit for my interests and specific skills.
