Ok, I'll bite. What happened at Canonical?

• red-iron-pine 3y ago
  lotta threads here in HN about what a shitshow the Canonical process is. Give us your high school GPA and write all of these essays and bla bla bla. Then they ghost you.

    I've gone through it too. Twice. The 2nd time I just told them that their process sucks and they said basically "thank you for applying please don't hesitate to try again!"

      I didn't even proceed when I saw what they wanted. I thought about how many people are likely to be applying to Canonical, and decided not at all worth the time.

        I even went past the essays and they started giving me IQ tests, which tested nothing but reaction time and memory.

          Canonical's hiring process is probably the worst on earth,how can they ever hire anyone?
          • i_am_a_peasant 3y ago
            I mean they probably filter for the kind of people that can tolerate and go through this stuff because their positions are also requiring brainless man-machines

          I pretty much refuse to work at any company that has anything resembling an IQ test. I once found myself unexpectedly being asked to take a wonderlic test, I failed the math portion on purpose then when I went into the actual interview I said roughly "haha, that math section was so hard". My degree is in CS & Math, I just didn't want to burn the recruiter relationship.
