I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Niantic (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Screening with internal recruiter, interview with hiring manager then a series of interviews with several team members and some from other departments. The interviews were conversational, low stress, I learned as much about them as they did me. Not much time between final interviews and offer. Negotiation was straight forward. I felt supported through the entire process. One of the best interview experiences I could imagine.

Interview
Typical leetcode style assessment in video format, the interviewers aren't that good at the whole interview part of things. FAANG is much better when it comes to these assessments as their problems often make sense whereas I was met with a 'gotcha' question at Niantic.
