Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Canonical nel mese di apr 2023
Colloquio
The first step in the process was a long written interview. The hiring contact said to think of this as my elevator pitch, however, there were 30 questions to answer on this. Questions ranged from how I performed in my high school classes (well over 10 years ago) to key competitors for the company.

Example questions included: Who do you think are key competitors to Canonical? How do you think Canonical should plan to win that race? At high school or university, describe your achievements that were considered exceptional by colleagues and staff.
Thank you for applying to Canonical and for completing our process. I can see that you did not receive an offer on this occasion, but would like to wish you the best of luck with your onward career journey!
Altre recensioni di colloqui per Project Manager presso Canonical
I recently completed Canonical's application process for an Enterprise Project Manager role. The application itself was a significant time suck, but what I found most troubling were questions about high school mathematics and language performances, including requests to justify answers with standardised test scores and academic rankings.
High school performance has nothing to do with professional aptitude. Many talented, capable people have disrupted educations, working multiple jobs to get through college, raising families while studying, or coming from underprivileged backgrounds. GPA and high school test scores do not reflect intelligence or ability. They reflect circumstances.
These questions are discriminatory in their impact, even if unintentional. We are years past COVID, which exposed every inequality in our education system. For a company that prides itself on global diversity and inclusion, these questions send the opposite message.

The interview process was thorough, but not overwhelming or too long. They focused on skills and experience, rather than asking trick questions. Interviewer was warm and friendly, I enjoyed the experience

Tell us about the most impactful project you’ve handled
Just after applying for a role, they send you an email with lots of questions to complete a written submissions (when I say a lot of questions, I mean 6 sections with at least 5 questions each). They ask you not to use any AI or assistant to make it true and honest. I spent around 1 hour to answer every question. All to get an rejection "no-reply" email on the next day without any detailed feedback on why I was rejected.
