The hiring process here is long and feels more complicated than it needs to be. The company keeps saying how “special” their process is, but most of the communication is just templated emails with little personal touch.
You go through several stages before even reaching interviews, and if you don’t make it through, there’s no real feedback—just a generic rejection after weeks of effort. The interview setup requires three separate interviews, but in my case one interviewer didn’t show up, and no one followed up for several days. When they finally did, they told me I wasn’t a fit without rescheduling or offering proper feedback, just a quick apology.
Another thing I noticed is that Canonical posts jobs constantly on multiple platforms. They clearly invest heavily in advertising roles, which makes me wonder if there’s real urgency to fill positions or if it’s just a conveyor‑belt style hiring process that ends up draining both applicants and employees.
Overall, the process felt impersonal, time‑consuming, and not respectful of the effort candidates put in.
