      Security Engineer Interview

      Mar 7, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      Lots of hoops to jump through. One role required a lengthy written interview with (honestly) weird and personal questions, things like how I did in grade school math. Another role sent me an online IQ assestment test. Ended up not working out in the end because apparently they are hiring only as contractor outside of UK and US. The security team lead himself is cool though.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      8 stages for a non c suite role seemed really outrageous, and I highlighted the company culture negatively from the start and some of the stages seemed irrelevant for the role.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      Muy largo y tedioso. Al final te piden algo que pueden ser 3 o 4 horas de tu vida para filtrar pero el feedback que te dan es bastante random. Porque lo revisa otra persona y no la que te hace la entrevista

      Interview
