I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical in Jan 2025
Interview
Two 5-6 page "take home" interviews, one being technical and the other about why you want to work at Canonical, followed by 4 in person interviews, a skills test and a personality test. All in about 20 hours of work.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
How did you rank in your high school, in your final year in maths and hard sciences? Which was your strongest?
What sort of high school student were you? Outside of class, what were your interests and hobbies? What would your high school peers remember you for, if we asked them?
Please state your high school graduation results or university entrance results, along with the system used, and how to understand those. For example, in the US, you might give your SAT or ACT scores. In Germany, you might give your scores 1-5.
I heard and read all over the internet that their culture is toxic and that their recruitment process is flawed. Nevertheless, I willingly gave it a go. I REGRET DOING IT.
Over a course of roughly 2 months and about 40-50 hours I did:
Written interview
Intelligence Test
Three interviews
Personality Test
HR interview
Four more interviews
Very lengthy and worst, they ask lot of lengthy questions and when you draft a good response , still you want have chances to get selected. They asked around 30 questions in the assessment round itself each written paragraphs
