Interview
The interview process was a screening call with a recruiter followed by a 2-hour remote technical interview (and then leadership interviews). Distributed web technology is a bit of a stretch area for me, but both technical interviewers were very patient and kind. They found out what I knew (and didn't know) without it being a grilling. And later, I got a phone call from the Canva recruiter explaining why I'd not been successful and encouraging me to apply again in future as several of their current managers were not successful on the first attempt.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were general web tech stuff (one coding and another a system design). There wasn't anything from left field

Interview
Quite nervous but the HR is very friendly. Just relax and be your yourself. Ready your art style, strengths and weaknesses, past job and clients. They have lots of process after you have passed on first level interview.

Interview
The process contains three sessions.
Started with a recruiter call with zoom. Introduce the company and yourself. Pop-up quiz on JavaScript. The questions were easy and fundamental. But you still need solid JavaScript knowledge. As someone mentioned <You Don't Know Javascript> should be adequate for this stage. I got confused a little at first because they did not mention anything about the pop-up quiz in the email.
The second interview was a paired coding session. I did this with zoom and screen sharing. The interviewer asked me to fetch data with a mockup API and organize data. A further question asked was to get data from a nested object. I was not able to complete the code due to time limitations. But I explained the logic. That was the only part I did not finish. They came back to me the next day telling me that I failed the interview. I appreciate the fast feedback, and the interviewer was nice and kind.
If you pass the second stage, there should be a three-hour coding interview and behavior test ahead.
To be honest, I don’t quite follow what a qualified candidate for them is like. I saw a post on Glassdoor with almost the same experience. And I am truly curious.
