Pros

- great coworkers - everyone is super friendly and passionate about their work - growth potential - I was promoted from contract to full time in a matter of months - good perks - catered lunch, 100% paid healthcare, work phone and laptop, etc. - awesome location - San Francisco headquarters in the ferry building - fun at work - we frequently go on Pokemon Go raids, it's our job to play games :)

Cons

- sometimes people work much more than 40 hours a week, but I personally have been able to maintain a comfortable work/life balance

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.
