I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (Austin, TX) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview process was extremely lengthy over the period of about three weeks. I had 5 interviews and they required me to do a video presentation for 10-15 minutes. I thought everything was great interview-wise, but the presentation was not an easy task. They also had me do it over the 4th of July weekend (due July 4th...). I think they expected me to spend my entire weekend studying this complex software and present it, but that's not realistic for an entry-level interview (especially on a holiday weekend). I think they should remodel their interview process, and they told me they were. Maybe it'll be different, but I will not be going through this process again.

Interview
waste of time. they make you take a bunch of IQ tests as if that's some sort of signal that you'll be good at sales. i get what they're going for but don't think it actually increases the level of talent
