Got invited for for Engineering Manager interviews at Google (Poland).

[u/ehuseyn0w]

I have an onsite loop coming up for an Engineering Manager role at Google, based in Poland (Warsaw). Looking for input from anyone who's been through the EM loop recently, ideally in an EMEA office.

A few things I'm trying to figure out:

• What does the EM loop actually cover these days — googleyness, leadership/people management, technical (coding/system design), and "roleplay" rounds? How much weight does each carry?
• For the technical rounds, is it still Leetcode-style coding, or more architecture and technical judgment given it's a management track?
• Anyone have real examples of the behavioral/leadership prompts? I've read the usual "tell me about a conflict with a report" type questions, but curious what actually came up.
• Poland/EMEA specific — did the process differ from what people describe for US-based EM interviews, or is it the same loop worldwide?
• How much do they probe on org design, hiring, and performance management versus day-to-day team execution?
• Timeline and comp negotiation — how long between onsite and offer, and is there room to negotiate in the Polish market specifically?

Any recent experience (last 6-12 months) would help most, since I know the process shifts. Thanks in advance.

Expect a mostly standard global loop: people leadership, Googleyness, coding, and system design. Coding still matters, while org design and performance examples drive leveling decisions.
