      Senior Software Engineering Manager Interview

      May 23, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Montreal, QC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (Montreal, QC) in Jan 2023

      Interview

      Just had a chance to participate and I would say it is waste of your time. They have a stupide quaternary of 40 questions and a very subjective aptitude tests. It was weird to see this for a dev position.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      There are 40 weird and not half of not relevant questions about how you studies at high school.

      We appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We absolutely feel our written interview questions are relevant to the complete skill set we are looking for and these are carefully crafted before we open a role. We have written about this in earlier responses on this platform, but in summary, we recognise that achievements in earlier years are just as relevant to 'on the job' experience and technical skill sets. It is a more advanced way to assess talent so not an approach that every candidate will have experienced before, but in our quest to find the best talent from a global talent pool it helps us identify those people who have a consistent and solid track record of achievement. We hope this offers you some context to our process. Thank you for your interest in Canonical.

      Senior Software Engineering Manager Interview

      Oct 17, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Warsaw, Masovia
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (Warsaw, Masovia) in Jul 2024

      Interview

      Typical few steps, specific and fast. There are a lot of offers, so you can get a little lost. The proportions in hybrid work were very unclear to me. I chose another offer that was more suitable for what I was doing.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The opening questions asked about myself, questions about management styles, strengths, and weaknesses. I didn't have the opportunity to go through all the stages because I received an offer that suited me better.
