Other Software Engineer - Java interview reviews for Canva
I applied online. I interviewed at Canva in May 2022
Interview
I do not recommend applying for this company. Their hiring process is not well-designed: they pay attention to unnecessary subtle details and miss the overall picture of a candidate. Their recruiter is not quite respectful and behaves in a "teaching" manner and like you owe them something. It was actually quite surprising and unpleasant to discover.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in Nov 2018
Interview
I send my CV and got an email from a recruiter an hour later. She was talking about setting up a time to “have a chat”. I prepared for an HR interview but then on the day it turned out to be a technical pre screening. I didn’t nail it, I wasn’t prepared for it. When I interviewed for Google those two were separated. I understand that Canva really need to filter their candidates, but the recruiter could have told me more about the process beforehand, could have had more interest in me as a person and overall could have handled the situation much better. I found a job a week later where the recruitment process didn’t make me feel like an idiot.
