      Dubai
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Canonical (Dubai) in Apr 2023

      Interview

      First step was a long written interview, followed by a timed technical exam. The technical exam was not easy, so only apply if you really know what you're doing. I didn't end up completing the technical interview because it was of a more advanced level than I was at
