I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical in Jun 2025
Interview
Absurd number of interview rounds.
First round consists of a written assessment in which you are asked to elaborate about things from... high school (yes I'm being serious) and perform an aptitude test consisting of basic a -> b logic questions and mental math (obviously incredibly relevant to software engineering). Only then do you get a take home.
Just to get through these two portions I wasted ~7h of my life. So I decided to stop considering they're not paying me for it. Utterly ridiculous process - stay away.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was your class rank in high school? (Yes I'm serious)
It's an extremely long process that includes standardized tests, take home assignments, and several rounds of interviews. It was at least 5 rounds long and you interview across different teams.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Canonical (London, England)
Interview
They have a really long, tiring interview process. The first round was a written interview where I had to answer like 15 questions. Then a coding interview with 1 hour time that I could do anytime for 2 weeks. Then I had to take a personality test and they totally ghosted me.
The first round is a bunch of questions like 30 or so where you have to describe your expierence, personal and academical information. Then there is a asynch technical interview and a psychology test.
