Best job ever. That's great. I'm glad for you. My experience with Shuttleworth is a first-hand experience. My interaction with him was one of the most negative of my entire professional life, and my interaction with other managers really left me with the feeling that they were afraid of him and that the workplace was dysfunctional. I did not read any Glassdoor reviews prior to that (so as to go in with an open mind), but the reviews I read subsequent to my personal interactions confirmed my impressions. In any large company, there are always a few good jobs. Maybe you were lucky. The list of non-standard semi-abandoned Ubuntu technologies is a long one... Upstart, Mir, Juju, Ubuntu Mobile... they seem to have severe NIH syndrome. Anyway. While Ubuntu itself is an OK distro, I could not in good conscience use anything from Canonical, given its leadership. Regards, Dianne.
