I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Canonical in Oct 2025
Interview
A written essay and a "fluid intelligence" test before a real human even talks to you, and that's only the first out of 7 outlined interviews + a take-home task.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
30+ question written essay covering my work experience, my love for Ubuntu, and my high school embarrasments.
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.
