I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Niantic (New York, NY) in Aug 2021
Interview
Given a code signal assessment ~2 weeks after applying for the position. Code signal was not too difficult, mostly LeetCode easy + 1 medium. Never heard back from them after even though I completed the code signal on time.
Lots of engaged communication from Recruiting, regularly checking in for my thoughts and always available to discuss anything I need. I spoke with a number of folks from Niantic across various departments with a heavy focus on personality and passion. Across the board everyone was welcoming and clearly very smart.
This was one of my favorite interview processes!
