      Frontend Software Engineer Interview

      May 9, 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      Strange interview process, No screening call. I only got the early assessment phase which had 2 parts, written assessment and coding challenge. They give 15-30 days to do each exercise. Got rejected via email after spending quite a lot of time on both process but no explanation or reason of not selecting, so was left confused as I completed technical interview with relative ease.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Atleast 20-30 questions had to be answered in a word document about work history, experience, grades in school, high school and college (which was very weird)

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (London, England) in Dec 2025

      Interview

      Process feels far too long and unnecessarily complicated, involving excessive steps, redundant paperwork, unclear requirements, and far too many interviews, causing frustration, delays, confusion, wasted time, and reduced confidence overall.
