Same here. And they’re a BYOD shop too, which I found strange.

Whatever other faults the Canonical process has, BYOD sort of makes sense to me from a dogfooding perspective with a company carrying a major desktop Linux offering.

Would look for a budget or have it reflected in their offer analysis though.

They should give people devices just for wasting enough of their time with a lengthy interview process.

Like, sorry you didn't make it past the final stage, but here's a nice Framework laptop with Ubuntu.

Considering the underpowered equipment that often gets issued as standard hardware by IT departments, I wouldn't be that unhappy about BYOD.

They do pay for a laptop upgrade every three (iirc) years however.

BYOD ?

They don't provide a laptop, AND your work computer must run Ubuntu.

They’re saving money on not buying equipment for their employees.

Bring Your Own Device i.e. laptop / dev machine

It is unusual although I use my own devices (running whatever I want to) even though I could get a standard-issue laptop.
