I should have read the reviews before getting involved in this ridiculous interview process. I made it basically all the way to the last round, when the hiring manager decided to end a process out of nowhere. Those were the step I went through for a marketing role: 1. Received email with some questions "in order to frame the conversation". The message seemed quite personal, and I actually thought that someone read my CV and was genuinely interested in this question, so I went forward and replied to that. I would not proceed if I would be familiar with reviews here. 2. Remember how it said that the questions are to frame the conversation? Well, you are not getting to converse just yet... The second step is aptitude and personality assessment. Again, since I didn't know and kinda like this kind of test, I went forward with it. 3. I got quite a high score on the test, so in the third round I got to speak with a real person. The thing is, that I spoke with a random person that would not even be on the team, I would work with, she had no idea to what position I applied for and in general it was just more time-wasting from Canonical. Note: These three steps took 10 days. 4. After no feedback for one month sine last interaction, I finally got invited to another round and got a chance to talk with a relevant person for the position. This was like your typical job interview with a hiring manager. The only relevant step in the whole process. He mentioned that I will have to do the case study in the last round and present it to a panel. 5. A week later, I got scheduled a call with HR, where they presented me what are the benefits of working for Canonical. You would think that at least you get to hear a chance what is their salary range, but no. "Canonical doesn't provide salary ranges." 6. As mentioned, the last step before offer would be creating a case study. While I was waiting for case study instructions, I just received rejection email about a month after previous round, If you are here, going through all the reviews, you have probably realized already how untransparent and ridiculously long and complicated their process is. Just save yourself a headache, don't apply and find other companies with normal hiring procedures instead of Canonical time-wasting. That should give you more than enough red flags. If this would not be a remote company, they would get no one to hire.

I only made it to the second round where they ask you to give a psychometric test. It took me around 3 hours of work to get till there. I got rejected after being told that they seek people with stronger experience - which would be clear if they just read my resume and decided it.
