Lots of positives, but go in with your eyes open - Software Engineer Canonical Employee Review

Thank you for your 5 star review and for sharing your experience of working here. I am guessing you might have received an employee recognition reward this month! If this is correct....well done! It is really great that you were proposed on the back of some excellent work. Our regular 'sprints' allow for us to travel to one location and meet up in person. We feel it is important that we come together in person a few times a year at least and it helps to balance out the time we spend working remotely. Our interview process is continually going through review. This year we have been training our interviewers and have been working to better our interview plans. These two projects will be complete by the end of 2023. We will then start looking closely at judgement and decisions made to really understand the value this brings. Since introducing the current process in 2021 we have seen a notable increase in the exceptional talent we hire. This has demonstrated that our process has enabled us to attract and select world class people to join our teams. The process is not short and we set high standards but it does bring us great results. Our people are the backbone to our organisation and we are determined we will take time to select the best colleagues we can.
