  Wow, that's hilarious. I guess they have a surplus of people... because that process looks more intense and picky than e.g. Google's, and Google is only able to do what it does because they pay very high and had great perks and a reputation. All this stuff about high school performance, and choice of university -- really? Actually what I get from this is that they're aiming to hire cheapish new grads and have no interest in senior industry-seasoned talent. Because there's some serious arrogance there if they expect to put applicants through the ringer like this without a commensurate effort upfront. Any senior engineer is going to look at that and wonder why they should bother.

    Ubuntu is cool and popular and that will drive a lot of applications. > Actually what I get from this is that they're aiming to hire cheapish new grads and have no interest in senior industry-seasoned talent. Pay em less, make crazy demands, less chance of rebellion, no context to know if behaviors are crazy, etc. Same idea with the video games industry, really

  That's absurd. I am not answering questions about high school or college, especially to that degree. I am a decade into my career at this point. I would turn this into a "creative writing" exercise.
