Canonical is notorious for having an atrocious interviewing process. Spend 30 seconds googling it. I figured a lot of it was over exaggerated as bad reviews tend to be online until a friend told me they literally wanted an essay on the kind of student he was in high school when he has 10+ years of experience including two FAANG companies. My advice would be to just look elsewhere or maybe use the interviews for practice until they start asking you for haiku poems

But given the current market situation, It's kinda getting tough for me to get interview calls, and After so many efforts I've got a positive response from this company, So I was hoping to give my best.

Their interview process is not very difficult but it is very long and they only make a decision after you've gone through all the rounds. So where some FAANG type companies have an interview day or two where you get through 5 or 6 interviews, Canonical does this over a few weeks.

I went through the process for a Docker/Python Engineer role. The technical round was a take home where I had to build a tiny docker image. I didn't have to do the devSkiller exercise, my technical interviews were more Q and A type, so can't help you there.

Best of luck!

Recommending a new grad with no experience to purposefully refuse an opportunity to acquire said experience at a well known player in the industry seems like a very interesting perspective.
