Currently investing 2 hours of my time per job offer:
- investigating the role, the company, their stupid website, their made up culture
- doing the unpaid take home tests (currently investing 8 hours doing a technical test for yet another stupid startup)
- answering dumb questions ("why do you want to work for $neverheardofstartup?") on fancy js forms
- having to register to their stupid career backend, thanks for yet another chance of having my inbox filled with spam because you don't know how to encrypt data
- uploading hours and hours of video presentations (as if cover letters weren't dumb enough)
only to be canned with a copy-paste "due to the amount of curricula we received unfortunately we cannot provide feedback - good luck with your job search" nonsense.
And if I'm lucky enough not to be weeded out by a bored-to-death HR person with the attention span of a starving kitten, this was just interview step 1/5

Fuck you, from the bottom of my heart.
