Pros

The folks keeping the office up and running are top notch and really go out of their way to reduce all friction in front of getting work done. It's honestly pretty comforting.

Cons

The RTO rollout is difficult to adjust to in the middle of intense developments on our project. Juggling corporate policy with day-to-day tasks could be handled better

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.
