I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (Seoul) in Apr 2026
Interview
There were many steps in the process, and it required high school grades and a long written interview.
Even when applying, I had to submit an application consisting of a large amount of writing, but for the written interview, I had to answer 14 questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please briefly explain your thoughts on open source software development. If you have experience as an open source project manager, could you describe the scope of your contributions to that project?
The recruitment process is excessively long and completely lacks human contact. Moving through numerous anonymous stages without a proper interview makes it impossible to evaluate the opportunity effectively. The company needs to introduce real interaction much earlier in their hiring pipeline.

Question 1
A high volume of basic school and college-level academic questions during the initial stage.
Written interview including high school performance. After that, I took an online assessment (coding) and a personality test. The recruiter sent me an email about arranging the first person-to-person interview. But after an hour, I received a rejection email.
