      Customer Success Executive Interview

      25 Apr 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Canonical in Apr 2022

      Interview

      No engagement at all with the recruiting party. They send you a 25 question questionnaire to be answered on paper... according to them, this is the process: Initial application review (done) A written interview and standardised aptitude tests Technical assessments and interviews Potentially, a panel interview for shortlisted candidates 7 pages and a few hours of careful answering later, I submit my written responses, only to be dismissed in an automated email 30 minutes later. No feedback, no insight, just a senseless no! In my opinion this is utterly disrespectful for candidates.
