I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Canonical in Sep 2025
Interview
I applied for a role at Canonical and completed their DevSkiller technical assessment. One of the test cases was incorrect, which I verified and reported in detail (with evidence) via multiple emails. Unfortunately, I received no response or acknowledgment. A few days later, I received an automated message stating that they wouldn’t be moving forward.
I found this experience unprofessional — feedback was ignored despite a clear technical error, and communication was completely lacking.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Canonical (Nairobi) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview was quite accomodating since the first written interview was for 2 weeks. The second one was for 1 month giving time to do them. It is not suitable for someone seeking for a job in the next one week, month or two
Terrible experience on so many levels. I wrote an 10 page essay and got rejected. Second interview is an automated leetcode style question. Never got past to the third step.
