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.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Canonical (Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi) in Jun 2024
Interview
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.

Interview
Awful. After submitting my CV, I was invited to take a written interview. At this point, all seemed good, there was a person assigned who could provide any information needed and when it came to completing the interview, there was no pressure to complete it in an unreasonable time frame.
The interview was 50 questions. Not multiple choice, each one requiring a written answer. So, if you allow 5 minutes for each, that's over 4 hours of effort. But of course you probably spend more to make sure you're answering clearly and succinctly.
After submitting, it didn't take long for a rejection to come, but despite all the time spent, they would not provide any feedback which I thought was pretty poor.
They did however have the nerve to ask for feedback on their process.
