      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      I was reached out by Head of Market Growth via linkedin for the position. He is amazing to walk to and we quickly agreed to catch-up at Canva Sydney. I was briefed about Canva's vision, growth plans and some problem areas. It was really good to know about Canva and how quickly it has progressed in few years time. After the initial introduction I was invited to take up a challenge questionnaire. While challenge was very interesting and fairly time consuming, usually when you are head hunted the recruitment process is simple and straight forward. It took me 10-15 hours to fill up the challenge and it was totally voluntary on my part to put in the time and effort. All together it was an alright experience. I have list all the questions and my answers from the challenge. Response time was quick, feedback was simple. I failed to give more granular details for each of my responses.
