I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canonical in Apr 2025
Interview
Get to the late stages, get ghosted, never get feedback. Process is long and plainly stupid. The written interview with "how people remember you when you were in high school". For christ sake it was 20 years ago. The technical part was not hard, but I didn't know if interviewer was happy with my answers, as they were not responsive.
It's disgraceful. As an engineer, I will never apply to this company again. We learn from our mistakes and grow from external feedback. If five sentences are too much to ask after ten hours of interviews, it shows a lack of company culture.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic software and programming questions. But do not bother. I wouldn't apply again.
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.
