The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical in Jan 2024
Interview
it was a very long interview process, they ask you to do an essay and several technical interviews with several members of the staff, the processes last about 30 days and you are not sure if they really want to fill the vacancies.

Very negative experience.
I spend a whole weekend writing a 40 page interview answering their questions about high school etc.
Then they invited me to an aptitude test that I had to do (as they told me) in my native language. The questions in the test were poorly translated to my language probably from google translate a decade ago (with missing articles and poor grammar) and most of them did not make any sense. I got ghosted after that. Throughout their process I did not had the opportunity to speak or contact any real person. Everything was just an automated human-less process.

Question 1
How did you rank in your high school, in your final year in languages and the arts?
Had to do the essay and aptitude test. Got rejected after. Was not even considered for the position. Not a good experience. the manager just clicked me away on the service they have without even reviewing my application. Feels like a waste of time, considering how long the process is
