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