Very unprofessional from the HR. After scheduling a call with me, she was unable to contain her laughter upon hearing that I did not have the required work experience in the specified language. She then quickly ended the call after declaring that this would be it since it would be "very hard" for me to pass further interviews.
I can't believe that Canva has HRs of this caliber that would blatantly laugh at a candidate. She has utterly failed in her job of resume screening and treating candidates with respect.
Technical interview focused on coding and system design problems, emphasizing clean code, scalability, and architectural decisions.
Received detailed, professional feedback highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement in design and implementation.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in Nov 2025
