I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Canva
Interview
The phone interview was great. However they asked quiet difficult questions, that seemed to be much more senior then the job description asked for. Overall it was a great experience and they sold the company well
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in May 2021
Interview
A few days after applying, I received an email asking for basic information for logistics, then received an email from a recruiter the next day to schedule an interview.
The first interview was a short phone interview to discuss my background and familiarity with the company and its products, and some technical JavaScript/ES6 questions. Near the end of the call I was provided with some feedback, and I was told immediately that I was moving on to the next stage, and after the call we scheduled the next (and final interview).
The final interview was split into 2 sections, a 1 hour technical interview with 2 engineers and a 30 minute behavioural interview. The technical interview involved creating a game in HTML/CSS/JS and they allow you to use any editor/IDE, and you can Google basic things like to remember how certain functions in JS work. The behavioural interview was pretty standard.
A few days after the final interview, I received an email asking to schedule a short catch-up call with the recruiter. I scheduled it as soon as possible and in the call I received feedback on my interviews, as well as the fact that I was getting the offer. Shortly after, I received the contract and accepted the offer.
All of the interviewers were really nice and friendly, and seemed like they wanted me to do well. I appreciated that I received feedback on all of my interviews and I was told where I could improve. All interviews were conducted via Zoom.
