I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Canonical
Interview
The interview process was thorough. I was interviewed by more than 10 people over the course of several months. Interviewers ranged from ICs to executives. Each interview focused a particular domain or skill, and closer to the end there were a few interviews with the engineering team that I was eventually hired to lead. The overall experience was positive.

I applied online. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Canonical
Interview
Applied through LinkedIn, they sent me 20 questions to answer, each one I can write a book to answer! don't do that, they are absolute time wasters, you will get no feedback what's so ever, and they don't even send an email to say no, just keep waiting, when chased for a decision, they said we can not give you an answer, just wait!!!
