Speakers
Description
Discussions that will provide insight into life at Canonical and into the long but interesting interview process. Our panelists have gone through the interview process recently and have interesting stories to share about their journey, for instance Aaryan will talk about his GSoC and its pivotal role in his work. We’ll also look at the work culture in Canonical, the conferences / work sprints held all over the world and other perks of remote work. You’ll get an idea about the large number of products and services that Canonical offers apart from Ubuntu.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into Canonical's unique organisational culture, the diverse range of roles available, and the essential qualities that set successful candidates apart. At Canonical, we are not just techies interested in building products, but are equally passionate about open source, cultural diversity and inclusivity.
