- This was the first time in my career when I DIDN'T feel like my professionalism and technical abilities were doubted because of my gender.
- The interviews weren't rocket science for FE, still challenging, rather their amount was a bit overwhelming.
- I think this is the best experience I had interviewing for an engineering position, the interviews just made sense and were rather practice-based.
- You are provided with preparation materials as everyone mentions here - they are mostly relevant.
- Every engineer I've encountered on a few technical interviews was very professional, collaborative, and friendly.
1) If someone ghosts you, contacting their colleagues will help. Tbh if you find any email address within the organisation - USE IT.
If you're not getting a reply after 2 days, you're not getting a reply. Follow up.
2) You can request adaptations and adjustments based on your medical condition, Canva has a special team for it - push HARD (HARD!!) for them. WARN the interviewers about it at the beginning of the interviews.
3) Soft skills: be professional, but you can be yourself and be slightly less formal. I felt like making interviewers laugh helped and was welcomed.
4) One of the interviews may have some ambiguous name - most probably it's a system (architecture) design interview.
