There have been previous articles posted with people's direct experience with the hiring process at Canonical. I don't think this is a good candidate for a case study.

Though perhaps shining a light on shittiness like that might cause someone doing hiring in the future to think for a fraction of a second and reflect. Maybe it’d be better to do it in a less than an insane way and make their slice of the world just a smidge better.

And just to add to the Canonical shame too, I’m all for that.
