      Technical Support Engineer Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      Extremely terrible at it's worst. Don't even bother to apply there, except you dont mind wasting weeks on very intensive and time consuming tasks before getting disappointed. The first stage is a written interview, with about 30 essay questions to answer. Second stage is also similar - about 15 technical questions with long answers. Third stage has about 3 different interviews with different team members. Fourth stage is with HR. Fifth stage also has about 3 to 4 different interviews with team managers. Don't bother, it's just not worth the stress.

      Interview

      It is astonishing and disappointing that some employers resort to using pseudo-science nonsense as a criterion for hiring. They base their decisions on dubious psychology tests that have no scientific validity or reliability. This is a poor and unfair way of screening potential employees who may have valuable skills and talents to offer.

      Hello. We have read your personal opinion of our assessment and feel it is important to explain some context here. We use evidence-based practices in our hiring and converging scientific evidence has demonstrated the utility and validity of these assessments in recruitment. All of the assessments fulfill the requirements of scientific validity and reliability and they have been reviewed and approved by the British Psychological Society. We can assure all our applicants that these assessments serve a purpose in our hiring process and are not used in isolation but help us to make a more informed decision during the selection process. Thank you for completing our process and best of luck with your onward career.
