      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Canonical in Sep 2022

      Interview

      Very laborious interview process, lost count of how many "stages" I've passed, started the interview process in late September, 21th to be exact. Almost 4 months spent doing their stupid assignments to get rejected. After each interview I had to wait from one week to three weeks to know if I proceeded to the next stage. Had just one "great and meet" interview with someone of the team, from there I was asked to do a home technical assessment that took me 4 hours to complete (python command line program that could download compress files), took more than a week to get a reply back saying "After careful we decided to not move forward". I asked for feedback didn't received it. Screw them, don't waste your time here.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      To develop a python command line tool that takes the architecture (amd64, arm64, mips etc.) as an argument and downloads the compressed Contents file associated with it from a Debian mirror. The program should parse the file and output the statistics of the top 10 packages that have the most files associated with them.
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      the graph colouring problem consists of assigning colours to the nodes of the graph. In this exercise we will use two colors(black and white) in such a way that any two adjancent nodes can have different colours. For the sake of simplicity, we will assume that all the graphs we are going to compute have a feasible solution.
