      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      1. Application review. This includes answering extensive written interview that starts from high school to present. There is also an aptitude assessment test, plus a technical series of tests depending on role. For very experienced candidates, I feel this is much to ask. 2. Technical team and Hiring Manager review. Mine took more than a month to be handed over to another hiring manager, who never gave any sort of updates before finally saying after a month more that they are not progressing. 3. supposedly a technical team interview and HR session 4. Final interview 5. Offer

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Canonical in Feb 2024

      Interview

      I applied and 2 days later they sent me the Written Interview, I sent it 2 days later, then they sent me a link for the General Intelligence Assessment (GIA) by Thomas. I think I did pretty well but the next day I received an email saying: "I'm writing to let you know that I will not be progressing your application further for this particular role. It is always a matter of some regret to draw an application to a close because we know that such decision-making is always imperfect".

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Canonical (Calgary, AB) in May 2024

      Interview

      I am so disappointed on how they "close" the process. I was at the final round of interviews, 6 in total, 2 assessments, 1 written interview and not even they didn't provide feedback, they just think about themselves and didn't though for a minute that I rejected other offers, thinking that I truly believe in their "diversity and innovation" and now I'm still unemployed, worrying about my baby and family and not even a personalized email explaining in 2 sentences what happen?. I get is a competition, I know companies aim for the best candidates, but this company really messes up with your time and not have the business etiquette to close properly.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canonical in Apr 2024

      Interview

      Processo molto lungo e complicato, si inizia con alcuni documenti da compilare, domande per lo più riguardanti il percorso pre universitario ed universitario. Ogni step è propedeutico al successivo. Si prosegue con un test attitudinale online e successivamente, se superato, si accede alla prima fase di tre f2f interview. Sono stato scartato dopo i primi 3 colloqui. Molto antipatico che durante la selezione sembra di essere seguiti in modo molto meticoloso dall'azienda, ma nonostante tutto il tempo dedicato (ogni colloquio dura almeno 1-1.5 h, più le fasi precedenti) il reject avviene tramite mail automatica e senza uno straccio di motivazione.
