I went through one the other day that had some dropdowns for "how many years of experience do you have with technology x", which seemed fine, until I found their form didn't work using the keyboard (tabs/numbers), and then found there were no less than TWENTY EIGHT such dropdowns, all required. Do you want to give me an RSI?

Other issue is companies with a broken captcha. Can't apply without proving you're human, can't prove you're human because their captcha just spins. Wanna refresh? Sure, but you'll have to enter your details again.

In saying that, I find the process better than a couple of years ago. Many companies are able to prefill details like education and employment from LinkedIn. At least it's better than them trying and failing to read your resume automatically.
