Entrevista
got referred internally. recruiter screen was light, mostly why google and walking through my current EM role (team size, day-to-day, projects). then a technical phone screen - algo questions in coderpad. one was design a graph system to get latest stock prices, another was about photo-sharing db for thumbnails. onsite loop was the heavy part: people mgmt, project mgmt, system design, and a coding/code review. people mgmt was situational - things like how would you spot burnout and convince team to adopt a new tech. project mgmt was about how i handle projects with no clear end date. system design was intense, had to design a distributed system with load balancers + caching strategy, and explain deadlock/livelock tradeoffs. i chose the code review track instead of live coding - basically walked through a doc, called out bad var names, missed edge cases, and suggested algo optimizations. overall collaborative interviewers, but long day for sure. what helped me a ton was doing mock interviews on prepfully w/ ex google EMs - especially communicating trade offs, and structuring my ans well cos i sucked at them earlier lol

how would you design a system to monitor the performance of a machine learning model in real-time
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

Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 1 semana. Fui entrevistado pela Google (Ciudad de Mexico) em mar. de 2026

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
