      Frontend Engineer Interview

      15 Nov 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sydney
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in Nov 2022

      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.
