I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Niantic (Palo Alto, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
I had a live coding interview on code signal for the first round. The Interviewer was engaging throughout. The entire interview lasted an hour. The first forty five mins was the coding challenge And last fifteen minutes was used for resume review
Don't have high expectations. The job posting is fake. I was interviewing for a software enginer role. Did well but they filled the position with an internal candidate. This job was never open for us, it was to give an intern a promotion. They had to post online for HR/legal reasons to show they tried to hire an external candidate. I spent several hours preparing for the interviews & taking the interview in total. Good job on wasting our time.
