Time-consuming process with an assignment with too many questions, many of them irrelevant to the position I had applied for. A total waste of time and definitely not a well-designed interview process.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Canonical (Dubai) nel mese di mag 2023
Colloquio
Very long proccess following this order. I passed the first two, then a day after letting me know that I should expect interview in the coming days, an email was sent to me that based on resume screening (which I passed several weeks ago) I will not have any meetings. This came to me as a surprise, since I have already passed the screeninig, a very long (5 pages) written interview and a psychometric test. The Hiring Lead even replied to my email asking about timeline for the process. • Initial application review • A written interview and standardised aptitude tests • Technical assessments and interviews • Potentially, a panel interview for shortlisted candidates I don't recomend giving this your valuable time if you have any better use of it. No explanation was giving to me on why the change of heart before my first interview taking place.
