      SRE/DevOps Engineer Interview

      Apr 13, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical in Apr 2023

      Interview

      The interview starts with a write interview asking some technical questions and some personal experience like if you were good at math in high-school. It is interesting that you get to connect with a hiring lead from a engineering team directly. But the whole process seems a little bit lengthy.
