Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Canonical em mar. de 2024
Entrevista
The interview process for Canonical is ridiculous and insulting to potential employees. The process consists of a ton of stages only for them to decline you an offer in the end with minimal feedback after 10+ hours of commitment. The stages of the process are as follows: (1) Initial Application Submission (2) Written Response Questions - they will send you a TON of random written responds questions that took about 2 weeks of work on my end (3) Technical Assessment - an extremely challenging 2ish hours coding assessment (4) Psychometric Assessment - about an hour long logic test (5) "Early Stage Interviews" - in my case 3 technical interviews that were over an hour long and finally (6) Late stage interviews with company executives and offer. In the technical interviews, they will ask you tons and tons of super specific and unnecessary questions that you have and will never need to know for a job or even any other typical technical interview. I made it through to stage 5 of the process and at this point they had still not even clarified with me the terms of a potential offer (compensation, title, ETC) after like I said putting in over 10 hours of work. I, like you might have, read poor reviews on GD but thought I would be different as I have a great resume and experience and Canonical is a reputable company in my field, but alas I was not. I wasted a ton of time on this and am extremely disappointed and disheartened by this ridiculous and insulting interview process. I truly don't know who they even choose to hire with standards like this.
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.

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 written part was unnecessarily long and the coding interview didn't give any feedback but the questions were fair. Online IDE was a bit slow. Some information multiple choice questions were not things that measure competency.
