ADVICE PLEASE!
A friend of mine who's a designer was applying to Canonical and saw a bunch of questions about their high school performance, etc.
That's super-weird, right? Is/should it be a red flag?

@dajb Canonical is kind of legendary for being hung up on stuff like high school GPA and standardized test scores, because young Shuttleworth was an Extra Smart Boy and thinks that is the apex of human achievement.
Not saying your friend shouldn’t take the gig if it’s a good fit otherwise, just that if they work there this is a flavor of bullshit they will need to be able to live with
@dajb In my job hunt, I was going to apply at Canonical, but ultimately didn't. Props to them for having a non-traditional hiring process...but damn.
