Pros

A lot of the people there are phenomenal.

Cons

Company puts their value of ensuring their games are play outside over their money, which is many cases is respectable, but it ultimately costed them multiple project terminations and 230 employees. Also babysits your scan-ins in the office to make sure you obey the hybrid model, no exceptions.

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.
