I applied online. I interviewed at Canonical (London, England) in Aug 2018
Interview
At the first phone call the HR responsible made me some basic questions and then invited me to an interview at Canonical's offices with her and the UX Lead. After that interview there will be 1 more interview with the whole team. They asked me to bring examples of previous works I've done in UX.
Ridiculously long process over 2.5 months involving a written interview, psychometric testing and 4 different interviews. Received automated rejection email with no feedback afterwards. Pretty unprofessional. Had heard about this process before but proceeded anyway, I recommend to avoid at all costs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had a disagreement with a co-worker
After several rounds of interviews, all conducted remotely, I had the opportunity to engage with the closest collaborators and stakeholders of the future team. The interview process was quite extensive, involving multiple layers of assessment and discussion.
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Canonical (London, England) in Apr 2022
Interview
It was the longest process I’ve ever experienced. An essay with a lot of questions is given, then a psycho-analysis test, then it was 3 interviews with different people from the company. After that, a talk with HR and then I was given 2 projects to do. Then 3 more interviews, on research, talking to hiring manager and then presenting the two projects. That whole process took 5 months, then I didn’t hear from them for a month. And then I was offered a job. Then working 5 working days (on the day I was suppose to start) they rescinded my offer with a non personal email and with no explanation. Basically I would advise you to do the interview and see what happens but don’t rely on it. Keep looking for jobs (also, they seem to be a bit all over the place and not organised or much empathy).
