Entrevista
Long process with a lot of back and forth.
Interviewed for Eng Manager, Tools and Infrastructure.
Started with a recruiter intro, call with managers, then went to onsite of 5 sessions.
Onsite had 2 management sessions, 1 design, 1 coding and one tools and infra session.
Overall people were really nice and the interview was not super hard.
I would say this is a good place if you look for the stable big company.
After the onsite, you get into HC, and after that to offer committee to determine your comp level. this is very tiring and long process, especially if you have other offers waiting.
During the offer, you get to meet different groups to select where you want to work. People I met sounded arrogant and made me think twice if I want to work there.
Google is very bottom-up org and engineers have lots of power, managers are just to support them so it's not for anyone.
I turned down their offer as I had an offer from a company I liked more.

Pregunta 1
typical management/ behavior questions - tell me about your history, how will you handle conflicts, challenges, successes etc...
design and coding are also standard
Only talked to a recruiter - I'm still waiting for them to find the right fit. They presented multiple options and they've been able to move quickly. I'm scheduled to talk with multiple hiring partners

Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Google (Ciudad de México) en mar 2026
Entrevista
Primero es una conversación usual de filtro de posición revisando match de experiencia. Luego explicación de todo el flujo, es largo. Solo realicé el primer filtro técnico que son dos sesiones de diseño/arquitectura de sistemas. Durante la explicación proveen bastante material como videos y FAQs. Incluso sugieren agendar una "mock interview" para preparar y tener feedback antes de la real. Esa fue la parte mala, ya que la agendé pero jamás me contactaron y por cuestiones de calendario me pidieron adelantar las sesiones que tenía para semanas mas adelante por lo que sentí que no me preparé adecuadamente

Recruiter screen > Tech screen (coding + projects) > Onsite. Onsite was 5 rounds: People, Projects, Sys design, Coding/Code review, and Googlyness. Tech screen had some graph/dsa stuff but not super hard, more about the tradeoffs. Onsite is interesting. People and project rounds are standard: handling conflict and growing teams, project management style and thought process. System design: large scale distributed stuff and tradeoffs, and a coding/code-review round: they give a choice; I did code review and walked through a doc spotting bugs/efficiency issues (+1 if you think out loud). Googlyness: leadership philosophies and working with cross functional teams. Google EM guides on blind and reddit were helpful, also some grokking for sys design refresh. And yeah a mock on prepfully with a google em and it was very helpful; helped me realize I was being too humble and not showing enough so to say “emergent leadership" which is a huge signal there. Joined a week ago and loving the campus lol
