I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Canonical in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview process has been long, but a good way to reflect and express on my professional and technical achievements. On the written interview they asked a lot of questions, and some, like those about high-school grades seemed pointless to me, but there were also lots of good questions that really made me think what I want to focus on my career and employment at Canonical.

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.
