      Web Developer Interview

      Apr 26, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Madrid
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Canonical (Madrid) in Feb 2023

      Interview

      There was no interview but I had to answer a lot of questions, around 10 but each question had three questions in one. It was quite extensive and took a lot of time. This just the first part of the 'interview'. They send you a list of the interview process and it is quite extensive and lengthy, maybe around 5 interviews ...

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How did you fare in high school mathematics, physical sciences and computing? Which were your strengths and which were most enjoyable? How did you rank, competitively, in these subjects? Which degree and university did you choose and why?

      Hello! We are sorry that you were not successful with your application on this occasion. The process you describe is our written interview, which is part of our early assessment stage. We invite candidates to provide some deeper context on skills and experiences that are not evident on a resume. Hiring from a global talent pool creates challenges, for example, resumes can vary in length and content so this allows us to create a much more equal playing field and to better understand core skill sets early on. We are also able to redirect candidates using this information if they are a better match for another role. We understand it is sometimes difficult for a candidate to know they have applied for the right role. Thank you for your interest and best of luck with your onward career.

      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.

      Average interview

      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?
