J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Canonical
Entretien
Very negative experience. Thank god i was not selected and not wasted any more time with them.
I spend a whole weekend writing a 40 page interview answering their questions about high school etc.
Then they invited me to an aptitude test that I had to do (as they told me) in my native language. The questions in the test were poorly translated to my language probably from google translate a decade ago (with missing articles and poor grammar) and most of them did not make any sense. I got ghosted after that. Throughout their process I did not had the opportunity to speak or contact any real person. Everything was just an automated human-less process.
In my day work I work on their products as well on their competitor's (Red Hat, Mirantis, Suse etc) products on various customers . Their behaviour on their customers is similar, so I don't wonder why they treat like that their applicants and I can only image how they treat their employees.

Question 1
How did you rank in your high school, in your final year in languages and the arts?
Had to do the essay and aptitude test. Got rejected after. Was not even considered for the position. Not a good experience. the manager just clicked me away on the service they have without even reviewing my application. Feels like a waste of time, considering how long the process is

It was rather long and I had to take part in two interviews, one asking about different systems and another about Linux based operations. They gave me a set of questions to solve.
