The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Canonical (London, England) in Jun 2022
Interview
Seems to be a 7 step process which is fine but it involves several hours participation and i am now reading about the nightmare process. It also seems there is high churn in the company. This means to me that the process is not working else they are not listening. Culture is key in a company and if its toxic at the top then there is no hope.

Interview
Please do not waste your time applying for this company. They let you answer a written interview, get you do a psychometric exam, go through a bunch of interviews and lowball you. What a waste of candidate's time.

Very long recruitment process. Around 8 or 9 interviews, not including written interview and psychometric assessment.

Interview
One interview they started by asking about my high school days. I told them I graduated high school in 1985 but was voted "nicest eyes". I also won the award for being the class clown back in 1983 my sophmore year and was very proud of that accomplishment as there was stiff competition. I then asked if I was on candid camera, when I found out I wasn't I hung up.
