Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.

There was a chat with the recruiter, followed by a discussion about architecture. Then there was another chat with recruitment, which was longer and featured targeted questions about people management and processes. Finally, there was a chat with a staff engineer and a manager. Everyone was very kind and accommodating.

Questions

Various related to people management, processes, and architecture.

Not as great company as they sell themselves

Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee

Ciudad de Mexico

Pros: Good salary, RSUs upon signing, benefits above the MX law, including SGMM, and grocery voucher.

Cons: Programming languages and tools are not part of the industry standard. Biased management, once someone from the squad's leadership has a strong opinion about an employee, it is impossible to change, despite the efforts made during the year. I've seen a lot of unfair layoffs labeled as "low performance". This is even worse if you are in a global team and you are not from Brazil.
