      Golang Embedded System Software Engineer Interview

      14 Feb 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical in Feb 2023

      Interview

      Pretty long and time demanding process with what can only be described as an essay on your history from high-school forward and some general technical questions. This is followed by an online aptitude test (slimmed down IQ test). All of this just to get to the introductory video interview. After this, got the take home assignment (shell script + Golang). Followed by COMPLETE GHOSTING for over two weeks. After I inquired if they received my assignment and if everything was ok, I simply got an automated reply that they will not proceed.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Write a shell script to build and run a Linux image. Write a function in Go that securely shreds a file.
