Pros

An excellent studio with technology and processes on the edge of tech and magic, Niantic brings big ideas to life. In the art field for this company there's lots of room to grow and take on new challenges as well as focus down hard on the skills you come in with. A very open and fun company, Niantic strives to keep the process transparent and the employees very vertically mobile in terms of opportunity.

Cons

Haven't experienced any yet, keep up the good work and focus on interesting projects that get devs and players out of their seats.

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.
