Canonical Web Frontend Engineer JS CSS React Flutter Canonical interview questions

First phase of interviews included a lengthy written response, a technical assessment, and an aptitude test. The written response was 28 questions, asking about high school and university academic performance, previous jobs, technical experience, etc. This took a long time to write and edit. The technical portion was straightforward. It was comprised of a few general computer science multiple choice questions and then a coding assignment to create a Polish notation calculator. Lastly the aptitude test was using Thomas International. It was roughly an hour of answering repetitive puzzle-like questions involving words and shapes. After passing the initial phase, the second phase had 3 technical interviews where you are speaking face-to-face, answering tech experience-related questions. The first interview was about web and UI skills, the second was for Linux skills, and the third for software engineering skills. I went through 2 of these interviews before I decided to withdraw. Too much of a time investment for a job that offers unimpressive pay and benefits.

The whole interview process was long and tedious. It felt like they really wanted to pick smart people who genuinely resonate with their company's values. Otherwise, most people wouldn’t have the patience to go through so many rounds and invest that much time.
