   Developer applies at @ubuntu, goes through extensive hiring filters and many interviews, gets an offer in hand, accepts the offer, quits their job, only for Canonical to retract the offer.

   Don't work for Canonical.

     @atoponce @ubuntu Yep, I had a similar-ish experience with Canonical's broken hiring process a couple of years ago when I applied. I have a thread here where I wrote about it at the time:
     https://octodon.social/@fraggle/109280048360828159
     Includes comically pseudoscientific "psychometric assessment" test that likely violates disability laws in most countries

     I even got a reply from Mark Shuttleworth on Reddit. My conclusion was the same: don't work for Canonical
