I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Canonical (London, England) in Jun 2024
Interview
The longest interview process I have ever done. Multiple steps before you even see a person. This includes a written interview that took me roughly 4 hours to complete and a technical assessment. Then a few interviews for competency. The people were great! Seemed so nice! Moved on to a talent interview where they drop the bomb on you for salary. Cannot believe I wasted this much time on a company that doesn't value its employees.
Overall 6-8 rounds took around 5months.
Software Architecture interview : gave me some scenario about software development and asked me about what I would do, what tech stacks I would use, how would I manage a project, my open source contributions, agile vs waterfall etc. and other software development practices

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Canonical (Nairobi) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview was quite accomodating since the first written interview was for 2 weeks. The second one was for 1 month giving time to do them. It is not suitable for someone seeking for a job in the next one week, month or two
Terrible experience on so many levels. I wrote an 10 page essay and got rejected. Second interview is an automated leetcode style question. Never got past to the third step.
