Canonicals Interview Process

Personal blog of Julien (jvoisin) Voisin

A couple of months later, I decided to reapply, hoping that maybe the previous rejection was a misunderstanding or whatnot, even though seeing that Canonical had more than 32 000 job openings smelt like bullshit was worrying. Heck, I bet all the senior people spending some of their expensive work time doing interviews are frustrated when candidates they deem promising are rejected at the very of end on Shuttleworth's whim; yet as this has apparently been going for a while now, so I doubt a ranty article on my small corner on the internet would hold any sway. As a side note, it's completely ludicrous that I had to use the GDPR to get some feedback on what went wrong on a job interview: the hiring lead could simply have replied to my email with some high-level explanation, which would have saved them from being GDPR'ed almost 300 pages of unredacted PDF.
