Sr Backend Software Engineer Interview Experience - Mexico
Process
Consisted of 2 interviews and 1 technical assessment. The process took about 3 months.
The first step was a technical assessment with 2 problems and 3 SQL questions. After I completed it, I did not receive any feedback nor word from the recruiter.
After a month or so, the recruiter told me I had an interview with the Tech Lead of the team I was joining in case of success. The interview went fine, but after that, I got nothing back from Rappi, so I assumed I did not do well.
After another month, I got a message from the recruiter that I had an interview with the VP. I had the interview and again, nothing from Rappi.
A month later, the recruiter suddenly sent me the formal offer. The process was slow, they did not take the time to give feedback or anything. It was very unprofessional.
Questions
Both interviews were the same, about my working experience.

- 2.0Strong technical challenges overshadowed by instability and micromanagementFrontend Engineer • Current EmployeeJuly 17, 2026Pros: Remote work, strong technical challenges, exposure to large-scale products, and opportunities to collaborate with talented engineers across different teams.Cons: Frequent reorganizations and layoffs create a constant sense of instability. Priorities can change quickly, decisions are sometimes made without enough context, and some teams experience micromanagement. After layoffs, responsibilities often increase for the people who remain, while communication around those changes can feel unclear or impersonal. Performance does not determine layoffs, and only cost benefit; this affects confidence and does not inspire you to give your 100%.
