I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Canonical
Interview
This is absolutely the worst, most obnoxious and disrespectful interview process I have ever had the displeasure of participating in. Takes a minimum of several months doing: multi-page high school essays, multiple IQ and personality tests, 15+ interview rounds, and there is a very low chance you will be accepted at the end of it all. Plus, pay rate is average at best. I have not personally met the CEO, and hope to never have to. He regularly engages in flame wars on Reddit and is super toxic. No wonder Ubuntu has been stuck in a rut. Whoever is reading this, please do yourself a favor and do not waste your time on this delusional company. Nearly any other place will provide you a better experience and more rights as an employee.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
30+ essay-style questions asking me questions about my professional/academic history all the way back to high school!
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.

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.
