I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2024
Interview
Step 1: write long form responses to a long series of essay-style questions. Took me several days.
Step 2: Timed coding assessment.
Step 3: "Psychometric assessment" - strange IQ style test. They said they'd email me the results, but never did. After I did this assessment, I got an email denying my candidacy. Humiliating. Terrible interview process. Time consuming, esoteric, inhuman.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
evaluate reverse polish notation. (coding challenge).
many essay questions like: "
How did you rank in your final year of high school, in your home language? Were you a top student? On what basis would you say that?"
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.
