Great tech, poor culture - Engineering Manager Canonical Employee Review

Thank you for highlighting so many pro points on our culture. We work hard to select the most skilled and talented people from across the globe which is how we achieve this reputation. On joining our organisation we invite all our new people to attend an induction sprint in person. These are hugely exciting events for us, enabling in-person sessions to learn about the business as a whole with some fun mixed in too! This year we are holding 3 induction sprints across the year to allow for our pace of hiring and to help on-board and welcome our new joiners quickly. To clarify, our hiring process does not include any IQ test. We do however have an expectation of both strong academic performance from early years and a high standard of mental agility as our basic requirements. Our approach has allowed us to hire the exceptional since introducing this process. We also see the market adopting more robust hiring processes too. In May 2024 we were a Gold Sponsor of the WomenTech conference for the second year running. We are committed to championing career opportunities for females in the tech industry. The industry as a whole suffers from a lack of diversity here but we are proud that our female population is increasing year on year due to this commitment.
