I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Google (Ciudad de Mexico) in Mar 2026
Interview
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
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Google (Kraków) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview was very well prepared, highly structured, and conducted by experienced, highly skilled interviewers who asked thoughtful, relevant questions and created a professional, engaging discussion with clear focus and constructive feedback throughout the process.
