#2On a side note - has anyone applied to Canonical for a software job? Their first step is a written interview which requires as much, if not more, effort as a graduate college application.

I decided not to because of the essay and not really wanting to fill it out

Immediately withdrew after seeing the high school grade questions.

I've been chatting with someone as they go through the process just recently. It seems completely and utterly insane.
Completely off-putting, and seemingly filled with nonsense that isn't providing actual value. There were so many bonkers things that I gave up trying to follow the particulars and just decided I'd never apply there.

I did. I passed all rounds and was extended an offer, but the pay was way below what I expected and so I declined. They also don’t sponsor visas or relocation, which was a dealbreaker for me as well.

Yup, and a beauty that interview process is. They've even earned themselves a bit of fame for it:

I applied and got to the essay and turned back. Feels like college admissions all over again. I’m too old and too mature for that. Technical questions? Fine. Behavioral, sure. Firing squad of 5 engineers for 3 hours of co-programming, ouch but ok… 1,000 words on why I love Canonical? I have just 6 letters: Ubuntu. If you really want to shave the neck beard down to 5: Debian.
