I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Canonical (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2025
Interview
Interesting - long questionaire, iq test, and coding assessment before even speaking to a team member, Definitely a thorough application process but GIA test felt a bit overkill. The written interview has a large emphasis on high school success.
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.
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.
Application
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.
