Pros

Nice people to work with.

Cons

Worked here for over a year and feel like I haven't actually helped anyone. Constantly just give generic replies and dodge actual questions. When someone asks to talk to a supervisor we either just dodge the question or send them to someone at our same level. Many times we say we have looked in to the solution or reviewed the situation and claim our decision stands when I reality we just waited a while to respond.

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.
