Sr Software Engineer Interview Experience - Ciudad de Mexico, Mexico

Process

Extremely large process and old decade process:

First, you will be interviewed online by an HR recruiter in Mexico to check your background and verify your English speaking ability. Then, you will move to a manager call to see if you are a fit with their values. "TACOS" is the acronym for those.

If you are a fit, you might guess, "Oh, I finished" or "There is only one coding interview left." But no, you will be invited to take the rest of the process "on-site." Yes, you are reading that right, on-site in their Mexico offices.

Then, you may guess, "Well, maybe I will get a tech interview here and then a manager interview again and then I will get an offer." That is not how it works. You will get four "1:1" interviews in a row. Two of them will be coding interviews (so you will need your laptop), and two will be software architecture interviews. Each interview will be 45 minutes long, and then you will move to the next one and so on, without any kind of break or feedback.

After you complete all the interviews, they will invite you to exit the building with the promise of hearing their feedback soon. A week later, I got a rejection email without any extra comments about their decision.

Waste of time. It would be so much easier to conduct this remotely. Thank God I was in other processes...

My process lasted 1 month.
