Got test online to fill out late into the process. What irked me was they sent me the test to express interest, and I took time to do their coding challenge and 100% aced it. Then they say other candidates are a better fit for their needs. The typical greenhouse cookie cutter reply. Why the hell do you send me the code test if you're not even willing to talk to me? Waste of time.
45 Minute technical interview with an engineer via phone. I could use my preferred language and was mainly focused on solving two short programming questions. Also asked a little bit about past projects and my interests at Niantic.
I applied to Niantic online through their internal portal, and a month later, I received a 30 minute coding challenge to complete online within five days. I haven't heard back from them yet.
