I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical in Sep 2023
Interview
It is the most ridiculous interview ever. You need to write an essay with 10+ questions, then you receive a online IQ test, after going through all these works without seeing a real person, you receive an Email saying that you have passed all the test but the role was occupied. STOP wasting our time OK?!
Very long, many many steps, in depth, asking questions from a long time ago in the past, but helps understand the company very very well. Need to speak to engineers, hiring mangers, etc. There's also a take-home task involved
Unnecessarily long, did a total of 7 interviews and 3 assessments only to be rejected at the end with no feedback. You will also be required to do a take home assessment
Went through 5 rounds of interviews only to be ignored afterwards. Initial calls were good but I was essentially meeting with everyone from the initial and answering the same questions on repeat. Then waas told there would be another 2 stages and a cast study from there. Very long process.
