Pros

The company is on a steady growth trajectory, and has a very encouraging attitude towards its employees. They really believe, that the company performs at its best, if the employees are encouraged to do what they are best at. Everyone in the company leadership is a legend, so one just has to get onboard the Maglev and let them help you figure out where your contribution has the potential to make the most impact.

Cons

Quick growth means everyone has to pay extra attention to developing internal processes that scale.

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.
