Pros

- Lots of growth which has meant a lot of learning. - Really smart people around with experience. Again, makes an excellent environment for learning. - People like what they do. A lot of people left large companies to come here because they believe in the platform. - Lots of work to be done, which to me, is a positive — I like being busy.

Cons

- Not a lot of transparency with growth and companies milestones. -Our perks arents as competitive as other companies, in my opinion. - Management seems to be stressed a lot

Pros

Truly one of the best companies I have worked for! There is a genuine care for our people, our culture and DEI. There has been a lot of change over the past few years, but our commitment to our mission, our people and our players has remained constant. We have a solid core leadership team and although the integration into Scopely has been a journey, who we are remains true and is showing up in everything we do. Honored to work here - best job of my professional career.

Cons

RTO and some recent changes in benefits through the Scopely acquisition

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.
