Pros

Great game in Pokemon GO that continues to keep players engaged and explore their communities. Exciting potential for the next game in Harry Potter. The future is AR and we are the leaders in the industry. Great SF office location. Easy to get along with colleagues who have similar passions and work ethics.

Cons

None that I can think of so far!

Pros

Niantic has a unique mission and works on products that blend technology, gaming, community, and real-world exploration. The people are generally smart, passionate, and collaborative, and there are opportunities to work on creative projects with global impact. The company also offers a good learning environment for those interested in gaming, AR, live operations, and location-based products.

Cons

Priorities can shift frequently, which sometimes makes it difficult for teams to stay focused or understand how their work connects to the broader company strategy. Communication from leadership could be clearer, especially during periods of change. Some processes feel reactive rather than proactive, and cross-functional alignment can vary depending on the team.
