I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2021
Interview
Not a difficult but quite outdated selection process. Roughly the interview process looks like this,
1. Review of resume and shortlisting
2. Written assessment
3. Standardised aptitude and personality assessment
4. Culture interview
5. Technical assessments and interviews
6. HR and senior leadership interviews
The selection process is extremely lengthy, subjective, seriously outdated and not that technically rigorous.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Prepared to be questioned on things like,
1. Grades and your ranking in high school / University
2. What are your proudest success as a leader?
3. Outline your experience?
4. Not purely technical but tangential questions related to the role you applied for. 'What are the key things to get right in software documentation and how do you ensure that your work is well documented?'
5. What are the biggest opportunity for canonical in <insert an area here> and who will be the key challengers? How do you think Canonical should plan to win that race?
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.
