1. Some application processes ask me to upload my resume and then want me to manually enter it again in a series of web forms. I'm not interested in spending 30+ minutes manually copying and pasting the resume I just uploaded. I figure that lack of common sense is systemic in the company, so I don't want to work there.

Workday! If the "Apply Here" button takes me to a Workday link, that's my off-ramp.

I have no idea how Workday is so ubiquitous when its user experience and aesthetic is so terrible.

Interesting.. i just posted the same thing. Workday flat out sucks.. i have no idea why it is everywhere.

Every job i have applied for requires i create a new account on [abc].myworkday.com. this just seems incredibly STUPID?

They probably want you to fill that so they can query that data easier

Meanwhile still have access to original CV

They should just put the stuff they extract from the PDF into some queryable form. Then, when there is a hit on a query, direct to the PDF. I doubt that the query results will be significantly worse, probably even better.

YC jobs does that, too ...
