Apply for a job at canonical and get back to me.

One of the reasons I keep away from Ubuntu - only desperate people might be willing to work at Canonical.

I have to agree here. My experience with Canonical's job application process has significantly lowered my opinion of them.

I interviewed with them maybe 8 years ago and it seemed like a pretty typical interview process. Has that changed in the years since?

A few people here seem rather down on this process, but without giving any detail. What in particular is unpleasant about such job applications?
