That interview was a marathon of monotonous questioning and endless tests, stretching over multiple sessions. It was an exhausting ordeal, devoid of any meaningful dialogue or human connection, leaving me feeling like a data point rather than a potential colleague. The entire process was impersonal and draining, a stark demonstration of how not to conduct a candidate experience.

Other Web Developer interview reviews for Canonical
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.

Question 1
A high volume of basic school and college-level academic questions during the initial stage.
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.

High school performance, working style, project experience
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..

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?
