Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week.
First, there is a standard position-filtering conversation reviewing experience match. Then an explanation of the entire workflow, which is long. I only completed the first technical filter, which consists of two system design and architecture sessions. During the explanation, they provide plenty of material such as videos and FAQs. They even suggest scheduling a "mock interview" to prepare and get feedback before the real one. That was the bad part, since I scheduled it but they never contacted me, and due to scheduling issues they asked me to bring forward the sessions I had scheduled for weeks later, so I felt I didn't prepare adequately.

- 4.0Excellent benefits, but the office lacks a reason to existEngineering Manager • Former EmployeeAtlanta, Georgia, United StatesSeptember 26, 2025Pros: Great pay, benefits, and work-life balance.Cons: The Atlanta office lacks purpose in the company's engineering strategy.
- 2.0Culture shiftEngineering Manager • Current EmployeeLos Angeles, California, United StatesMarch 17, 2024Pros: Brilliant technical staff and excellent coworkers.Cons: The culture has changed significantly. Good leaders empower brilliance and excellence; they don't discourage or inhibit them. It seems like all the good, empowering leaders have left Google and were replaced by people who are actively preventing people from being their best. For example, the old self-assessment / peer-assessment / leadership-assessment "Perf" system was brilliant and was a model that other companies followed. It was turned down and replaced by an atrocious "expectations / anonymous ad hoc feedback / check-in" system that makes everyone feel like they're on a PIP. The highest performers are discouraged from setting ambitious goals and "doing the right thing for the company"; instead, they are encouraged to define modest goals that strictly match the role profile description of their role. The highest priority is "meeting the expectations". It feels like whoever is leading People Operations is actively trying to sabotage morale, burn people out, and cause the highest performers to look for the door.
