      Program Manager Interview

      Mar 25, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Canonical in Mar 2016

      Interview

      Applied online. Received a phone call from an HR type. The process was very laborious. He was using some free pc-calling app that was so bad it was hard to decipher what he was even saying. HIs voice kept breaking up or cutting out all together. I had to keep asking him to repeat what he was saying. He told me that the job was remote, but I would have to provide my own laptop. (The company didn't provide one to employees). Then he said that I would have to maintain an image of Ubuntu OS on the laptop. He didn't say why this was necessary. The whole thing was unprofessional & very 'mickey mouse.' A couple of hours later, I received an email that my application was 'unsuccessful'. Really? Grow up! It was a huge turn-off & a complete waste of time.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canonical (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      went through 4 phone interviews with 4 different interviewer at different time zones. The admin arranging the interview had set up the interview time wrong twice, 4 interviews took me a month, and after that they just ignore you without any notification, no response to my inquiry at all. Very inefficient, unfriendly, and unpleasant interview experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      One interviewer keep asking very broad and unspecific questions like "how do you think about abc..?" , and constantly stop my answer in the middle, unable to express what I know about the topic
