Pros

I have been with Niantic for several years. From my experience, the executive team at Niantic is bright, seasoned, and very humble. In addition, they have some of the smartest people in the world focused on 3-D mapping and computer vision. The company is working on several inspiring projects that bring people together in the real world to explore, exercise, and make friends. I would also add that Niantic is a great place for working parents and new parents. The policies and support for parents are second to none.

Cons

Working with this team will definitely push you to do your best work, and the environment is such that you will have a lot of fun while doing it.

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.
