I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Canva
Interview
It was consisted of standard behaviours and technical interviews. I felt that the entire process was a scam
and it's completely waste of their time and mine. After almost 4 hours' interviews, I still had no ideas which team that I would get placed to and who would be my manager.
The interviewers were also quite condescending and told me that I should solve tech problem in their way and my thought process wasn't valid at all. Canva is a bit like Scotty from the marketing. Doing lots of PR but it has no substance. I know that they are quite big on progressive things but honestly, the interview process is the worst ever.
