I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (Dublin, Dublin) in Dec 2022
Interview
After submitting my CV and cover letter I was asked to complete a written interview. It took quite a significant amount of time to complete. The next step was basic IQ test. It took about an hour. After these steps, I received feedback that I'll be a great fit for the role. I thought "Great, It looks like I'm doing well". Then a day later I got a follow-up email that stated that the company "will not progress your application further for this particular role". Overall, not worth the hassle, the interview process takes too much time - not worth the effort.

difficult interview process as they first send a task that had over 20+ questions and took me a few days to complete. After wasting so much time was not selected for the interview

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (London, England) in Apr 2021
Interview
So the other day I learned that to become an ESA astronaut, you must go through a 6-stage recruitment process.
To work at Canonical, you must go through 7 stages.
No offense meant, but it means that people currently working at Canonical are probably not the best in their field. Top notch talent get recruited by other companies before they go through the whole process.
