      Everything was fine until GIA assessment I send CV, finished with written assignment.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical in Apr 2023

      Interview

      The interview starts with a write interview asking some technical questions and some personal experience like if you were good at math in high-school. It is interesting that you get to connect with a hiring lead from a engineering team directly. But the whole process seems a little bit lengthy.
