Interview
Started out with a timed challenge on HackerRank. I was then invited for an initial conversation over Skype with their lead recruiter. I was asked some JavaScript related questions and was then shown some code examples and had to explain what they did. Despite building JavaScript applications for the past 5 years, I was unable to proceed further as I had never heard or come across a lot of the functions used in the examples. I understand it's an attempt to weed people out but I bet they've lost a lot of potentially decent developers because of this. It by no means indicates my ability.

Interview
Standard HR interview. The HR was friendly. First HR would introduced some information about the company and this role specially. And asked some behaviors questions and compensation. In the end, you will have chances to ask questions.

Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter shortly after. I had a great experience. Everyone I spoke with throughout the process was incredibly friendly and supportive. The first interview included some technical questions, as noted in the document they provided, and also mentioned on Canva's website. So, it's important to prepare for those. My technical interview lasted an hour and involved building a game. Unfortunately, nerves got the best of me, so I highly recommend practicing your interview skills and answers to stay calm and focused. My favorite part was that they actually provided feedback!! I'm definitely getting ready for the next time I can apply here! 🙂
