      Web Developer Interview

      22 Sept 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canonical in Sept 2022

      Interview

      Funny how I thought my story would be different from the reviews here, a very unnecessarily long, tedious, time consuming process, after initial resume screening, you do a written interview with unnecessary questions about high school, favorite subjects and a bunch of useless questions not related to the role, after that it’s a psychometric test which is basically just an iq test, I did really well at this so I thought it would help me, after that you have 3 different interviews with 3 different team members, and I’ll say personally this was the only enjoyable part of this whole experience because the developers were all nice, friendly, and seemed really smart, asking mostly about what I like and dislike about each technology I’ve used e.g react, tailwind etc, after the 3 interviews you get a take home pretty easy, then after that i got a generic rejection no feedback no nothing, so funny how the whole time I thought I’d get the job and not have to go through typing this but it is what it is, not sure why a company put someone through all this stress to not even get to the offer discussion, in summary it’s so surprising that a lot of smart developers already work at this company and had to put up with this joke of an interview, and in my opinion this will only serve to chase away prospective employees

      Question 1

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      The recruitment process is excessively long and completely lacks human contact. Moving through numerous anonymous stages without a proper interview makes it impossible to evaluate the opportunity effectively. The company needs to introduce real interaction much earlier in their hiring pipeline.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A high volume of basic school and college-level academic questions during the initial stage.

      Application

      I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      Written interview including high school performance. After that, I took an online assessment (coding) and a personality test. The recruiter sent me an email about arranging the first person-to-person interview. But after an hour, I received a rejection email.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      As we all know, the interview process can feel long from the moment you get that first email. I completed the text interview, the coding tests, and the problem-solving assessments 🤔. Interesting or not — you decide. The interviews with the team were pleasant; I guess it depends, but mine were 3/3 positive experiences. I didn’t get an offer, but I’m thinking of applying again in six months..

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      To be honest, I thought it would be more like an architectural interview where I’d be drawing app structures on a whiteboard. But instead, it was more along the lines of: Tell me about your projects, your achievements, your goals. What would you do in this situation? Why do you use this instead of that? What would you do differently now?
