      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      6 Jun 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canva

      Interview

      I applied directly via the Canva website in April 2023. I immediately received an automated reply that assured me they review and respond to every application. More than 2 months later, I have heard absolutely nothing more from them. Issues: - The automated email is from a no-reply address and offers no way to get in touch or check the status. - The email says it may take "a few weeks" to get back to you. That's a pretty poor response time anyway, but it also means that you don't know how long to wait before deciding that they're not actually getting back to you. After 1 month, I assumed I wasn't going to hear from them, but it was also too late to bother following up. - Committing to responding to every applicant and then failing to do so just makes it worse. You started the process with promises you can't keep.
