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.
Average interview
Application
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.
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.
