      Web Developer Interview

      Sep 11, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Vancouver, BC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (Vancouver, BC) in Oct 2023

      Interview

      So awful. I have wasted my 5 months on ten round 'interview'. They won't give you ANY feedback about your interview. It is the most arrogant and disrespectful company I have ever met.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is the biggest challenge you ever met?

      Web Developer Interview

      May 21, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      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.

      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (Seoul) in Apr 2026

      Interview

      There were many steps in the process, and it required high school grades and a long written interview. Even when applying, I had to submit an application consisting of a large amount of writing, but for the written interview, I had to answer 14 questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Please briefly explain your thoughts on open source software development. If you have experience as an open source project manager, could you describe the scope of your contributions to that project?
