Pros

- The people I work with are one of the biggest highlights of working at Niantic. Everyone here is very motivated, willing to help out one another, and deeply cares about the success of not only themselves, but of their team and the greater company. It seems like almost all Niantics are willing to jump in to help when needed, even if it means an occasional late night or weekend. - I've been able to grow with the company and I genuinely feel like my manager, my teammates, and the CEO really care about my personal growth and well-being. I've been able to take on projects and have had opportunities at Niantic that I would have had anywhere else. - Our benefits and perks are top-tier. There's a real effort made by our People team to ensure we have competitive benefits.

Cons

As a growing company, there are some policies and infrastructure we still need to improve/implement to accommodate the increase in headcount.

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.
