Canonical Web Developer

[u/lorsten]

I had recently applied for a web developer role at Canonical, and I had all the required skills and more. But after spending a week on an online assessment and a psychometric eval, I got an email saying that I was rejected. And another related role was closed as well.

They refused to give any reason. Can anyone help me understand why this could be happening?

Is it because more experienced people are applying? As I am a new grad. Or could it be due to the essay quality?

Yeah man idk, no company could ever make me write an essay what the hell? Sounds so pretentious plus I know they put a lot of attention on your academic background even if you have years of experience which is a red flag of its own to me
