Submitted resume online. Waited for one week. Then hiring lead connected me, and ask me to finished a written interview, which contains 50 questions. It took me a whole day to answer all them them.

Entrevista
I didn't make the cut for being interviewed. I come from a long, proven track record of people management . I received continuous, incredible feedback for my interpersonal and team leading skills in the past. I answered the overwhelming amount of weird questions candidly, since I skipped school a lot as a teenager (35 years ago) I could not say that I had stellar math skills at the time, which seems to be ultra super duper important at this company. Having incredible high school grades does not prove that you're a good people manager, developer or person. It will just prove that you were mature as teenager, and that you had a calm and stable family situation to study. One tip to Canonical would be to extend the recruitment process into the probation period (or first time at the company). You are most likely wasting enormous amounts of time and many missing out on great candidates.

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.

Don't waste your time with this company.
