I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (London, England) in Nov 2024
Interview
Canonical put in place an entirely virtualised process whereby you have to write an exceedingly lengthy written assessment, and pass an attitude test, without you even get to the first stage of the interview and speak to HR. No feedback is given at the end of the process upon rejection. interaction with a recruiting agent is key to clarify expectations around the job compensation reporting line and many important aspects that are outside of the skills selection process, and t’s entirely lacking here. My appraisal of the process is that it's mediocre inasmuch as no information is shared with candidates, low touch, and dehumanised.
