      Cloud Operations Engineer Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical in Apr 2023

      Interview

      The process was pathetic. First, I received a mail saying that your resume was shortlisted and you had to give a written assessment, i.e., 17 questions. After putting in a lot of effort and time, I drafted answers to those questions and submitted them. But after a few days, I received a mail from their side saying, "We have reviewed your resume and will not be progressing your application further for this role". There was no proper feedback from Canonical, and I mailed again to their team lead, but there was no response from their side. They have purely wasted my time and efforts.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (Beijing, Beijing)

      Interview

      Long and grueling process where you have to write an essay before you have any kind of interview. The first interview is with someone who knows possibly nothing about what you’ll be doing. Then they expect you to learn how to use their poorly documented tooling in order to execute the technical assessment. The last part of that felt like they were trying to onboard me without paying me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Instead of generic technical aptitude, the technical assessment makes you learn about their own internal tool. This tool’s documentation was a forum post that was obsolete and mostly only informative on a surface level. They would rather you read the code and learn it that way, but the code is poorly organized and all of the comments are from devs saying “reminder to fix X later”

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. Unfortunately it is not possible for us to follow up on your application as we are unaware of who you are. However if you have completed the written submission this will have been reviewed by at least 2 people before taking a decision. We do use the written interview as a decision making point, so completing this will not always guarantee a face to face interview with the team. Unfortunately in this instance it would appear that we decided to progress with other candidates. We would like to thank you for your interest and for the time you spent on your application.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Canonical (London, England) in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Initially submitted an application along with a cover letter. Was asked to submit an extended cover letter. Friendly call with hiring manager followed, seemed very positive but got an automated email a few days later ending the process.
