I had the same experience. The interview process was super long and nowhere near completion, got through a few phases, got rejected with no explanation in the middle of it.
The "psychometric assessments" were specially dumb and I started questioning if I wanted to work at Canonical at that time anyway.
There's places where HR and processes as a whole look like just incompetency. And other places where the amount of people, processes and steps sounds like a mafia to employ a lot of people to achieve absolutely nothing (32,000 open positions?). This REALLY sounds like the latter (even Mark complains about why he's wasting time with a duplicate application).
Very very clever actionable using GDPR. And totally within the spirit of the law. I'll use it.
- michaelt 1y ago> 32,000 open positions? Honestly, I very much doubt a company with ~1200 employees has 32,000 open positions. More likely it's HR reposting the same 20 job ads every day to keep them at the top of the linkedin news feed or some nonsense like that.
- loloquwowndueo 1y agoCanonical is a remote company so location doesn’t matter but - what they do is, they post the same ad but selecting specific countries or cities to get better SEO positioning in most geographies. You’ll see the same position advertised for a bunch of cities (hence the inflated count) but the job posting text will actually say it’s remote. It’s like “growth hacking” but for hiring post positioning.
