      Technical Writer Interview

      31 Mar 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Canonical

      Interview

      Long and tedious. They make you write a ton, jump through a bunch of hoops, take several tests and then deny you after 30+ hours of time. While I understand the need to make sure you find good candidates, they act like they are something beyond any other job you could ever hope for, but offer nothing in return, no high pay, expected long hours of working etc.

      Germany
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (Germany) in Jun 2025

      Interview

      Very long and tiresome and in the end rejection. The reason for the rejection according to the HR - lack of experience, which they knew already after seeing my resume and cover letter. I feel like I wasted lots of time for nothing
