I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2023
Interview
1. Essay about yourself (going back to school grades) 😂
2. GIA Psychometric Test
3. Technical Assessment (vulnerability research question, Design review question, code review question)
4. (Didn't reach here) talent team
5. (Didn't reach here) upper management
Overall very long and tedious process, and at the end, I got no feedback, even though I was promised so!
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
given a CVE, find information about it, research of it affects any of your products, and describe mitigation approaches
8 stages for a non c suite role seemed really outrageous, and I highlighted the company culture negatively from the start and some of the stages seemed irrelevant for the role.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canonical
Interview
Muy largo y tedioso. Al final te piden algo que pueden ser 3 o 4 horas de tu vida para filtrar pero el feedback que te dan es bastante random. Porque lo revisa otra persona y no la que te hace la entrevista
it was ok, essay, recruiter call, 5 interviews and 2 hacker rank assesments. not biased but felt like interviewer was reading off a word doc 0 emotion. other than that i dont know what the hacker rank was for.. completely unrelated enginering questions than the job description of course.
