      Java Software Engineer Interview

      12 May 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      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.

      Software Engineer - Java Developer Interview

      15 Dec 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sydney
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      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.

      They like their java multithreading, so prepare for that
