Me postulé a través de un reclutador. Acudí a una entrevista en Canonical (Abu Dhabi, ) en jun 2024
Entrevista
There were a lot of stages imcluding screening, tech interview with behavioral parts, behavioral interview, huge writing assessment and motivation check. Nice and friendly, but the more you trying to understand in the company processes and values the less you want to get there.
In 2024 they required to have a COVID vaccination for remote work as an example.

tldr; After hours of interviews and exercises they ghost and give no feedback.
I managed to complete Canonical's "early stage" interviews - 4 one hour interviews and 4 exercises (1 written, 2 psychometric, and a coding exercise). Although I had great conversations and loved meeting everyone (best part), Canonical ghosted for 2 weeks despite reaching out to my hiring manager for any updates. When they did respond, it was the most generic email: "We are writing to let you know that we have reviewed your application. We regret to inform you that we shall not be progressing your application further for this particular role". Given the progress through the process I would've expected some correspondence or feedback, but they just send an inpersonal email.
If they provided ANY kind of feedback that would definitely get rid of the question marks. Instead, Canonical conveys that they do not care about you or the time you spent in their overly long process, even if you do make it to the further rounds.
