      Social Media Manager Interview

      May 27, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      Very disappointing. Long and intense. The whole process took about two months, with four interviews and and a presentation. I was due to have one more interview with the CMO but ultimately I got a pretty rude rejection email saying 'I didn't have the skills required for the job'. I wish I'd known that earlier in the process!

      Interview

      Processo lungo, in più step. I primi tutti scritti e con monitor registrato per sicurezza: il problema principale per me è che si impiega tantissimo tempo senza ricevere un feedback sensato su quanto si è fatto e sul perché si è scartati (tutto in inglese)

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (Berlin) in Sep 2024

      Interview

      The process was very lengthy, took over 6 months on interviews, presentations, tests and quizes. With no feedback whatsoever. At the end I resigned from the process to not waste any more of my time.
