Canonical reviews

Unlike virtually every other technology company in the world, not even top engineers get equity. You better negotiate a high salary, because that's all you get! (and they will pay top of the market - you probably have to lie about your previous salary. do it) And the man who owns it all, makes seriously questionable decisions - often spending a year reinventing technology that already exists, because they can't work with the community. And in the end the new version is worse.. anyway... I don't actually ever see Canonical making it big. Nothing ever works right, at the technology level, and internal turmoil is rampant. Almost the entire rank of VPs were re-hired in 1.5 years. And there are completely dysfunctional teams run by pets of the owner, who are ruining Canonical, but are un-fireable.

Working from remote office can be challenging. (With colleagues around the world someone's always working and depending on your role you could be "always on call.") Requires personal discipline to stop working and focus on personal life. Takes more personal effort to know what's going on, avoid feelings of separation and isolation.) I missed live social interaction with colleagues.
