You can say that again. I went through a 50-75 hour process of interviews, leet-code exams (with tight pencil-down timing), culminating with a long-form project that they budgeted 4 hours for (took me 20+).

I finally had a brain fart in the umpteenth interview and was not offered a job.

I can’t help wonder what kind of people end up being hired in places like that.

Geniuses like I’ve never even met? Weirdly hyper-specialized types? Ambitious con artists?

Maybe friends of current employees get to skip the BS gauntlet?

The over ambitious and underperforming, might be a good indication of why they can't keep a website up :)

These are the people who brought you the Snap package manager. The one nobody asked for. The one that constantly harasses you every half hour to close programs that you have open because there's always something with a goddamn update waiting. Then when you close it, it doesn't get updated, and you have no idea. Then you wait 30 seconds because every Snap app is slow as dog shit to launch. Then it tells you to close it because it needs an update.

Their hiring process apparently leaks through to the general design of ubuntu, which is trash.
