Pros

We have some of the brightest, most diligent, committed and challenge-driven folks working here that I've ever met, which makes for a rewarding experience as an employee. The teams are all flexible, collaborate on a variety of projects, assignments and goals, and really strive to make everyone feel involved and important.

Cons

With the growth we've experienced, we're trying out new policies and benefits to improve the employee experience; depending on the team you're on, your days may be a bit longer than others, but even if that happens, it seems like managers are always ready to listen and help out.

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.
