I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (Bengaluru)
Interview
There is a written test where you have to list out all your achievements, and then a psychometric test. After which, if you are shortlisted, you get called for a one-on-one interview.
Quite long, but friendly staff, many stages including personality tests, coding tests, and online interviews. Stages can be quite drawn out. Personally reached late stage, however did not get an offer.
