I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Niantic (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2022
Interview
The process was good but unnecessarily lengthy.
First Round: they will send a direct data challenge on pokemon data to prepare a presentation.
Second Round: Then there will a presentation to shown to new joinees (interviewers). They will ask a few easy rank based SQL questions.
Third Round: Super day with 4 interviews about product sense, SQL, Resume go through, and again product elated questions.
If you pass then there will be a final round with VP (which i didnt get) again for a fit i guess.
The people interviewing are really good and are very helpful if you get stuck anywhere.
However, the HR shouldnt waste time by rejecting candidates on call. If you dont want the candidates to feel bad, atleast provide a feedback to them if you are so much into calling. This is just not the way! Hr also wasnt clear on exactly what to expect for the candidates.
PS: they will ask for what you are interested in- product analytics, data engineering, modeling. So do clear out what the role actually will be.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic SQL questions about ranking, retention rate, joining tables. There is SQL in the screen round after data challenge and then harder level during the super day.
