Engineering Manager Interview Experience - São Paulo, São Paulo
Process
I applied online for an Engineering Manager position with the company and went through multiple rounds of interviews (seven rounds over six weeks).
These interviews covered architecture design, domain knowledge, leadership, and delivery skills.
However, it has been over a week since my last interview, and I have not heard back from the recruiting team.
All interviews were conducted in English, and each had its pros and cons, largely depending on how well my working style aligned with that of the interviewer. Some interviews felt like a strong match, while others did not.
I'm assuming the process did not move forward, but considering the effort involved, it would be nice to receive formal and proper feedback, rather than just having to guess the likely outcome.

DoorDash Work Experiences
- 5.0Good company to work for, but there's still a way to go.Engineering Manager • Current EmployeeSão Paulo, São Paulo, BrazilApril 15, 2025Pros: DoorDash is setting up an arm of the company in Brazil, so there really is a mix between a very strong creation and expansion environment, combined with all the strength of the parent company in the US. With this come very good challenges to work with and a set of exceptional professionals to bring this project to life. The company is providing a lot of support for the growth of the office in Brazil, and the goal is to have 100% Brazilian teams taking care of important parts of the global operation. The CLT (Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho) + equity hiring generates a very high total compensation, probably in the 95th or even 99th percentile in Brazil.Cons: As everything is still very incipient, there are things to improve: * The office (at the moment we are in a WeWork room). * The health plan (which is good, but could be better). * More HR support (at the moment, the team from Mexico attends to us).
