Had 2 rounds of interviews.
1. With the recruiter
2. With the TPM.
The recruitment team did not provide any feedback and did not give any closure to my application even after following up.
Lack of closure: Candidates invest time and effort in preparing for interviews and engaging with the hiring process. Not receiving any feedback leaves them in a state of limbo, unsure of where they stand and whether they should continue pursuing the opportunity.
Advice: Neglecting to provide feedback to candidates even if it is a rejection can damage the company's reputation over time and discourage qualified candidates from considering future opportunities with the organization.

Question 1
Please share your work experiences and what made you apply at Canva?
3 Rounds - recruiter screen, Craft round and technical round. Fairly standard questions for craft round, asking about your understanding of delivery. Technical round you focus on a project you run and they ask you indepth questions about it.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in Jan 2025
Interview
5x calls with lots of different people in the org
Strung out over months and months, potentially due to holiday period.
Overall felt very organised though and was kept in the loop along the way
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canva in Jan 2024
Interview
Process was very slow, wouldn't hear feedback from recruiter for up to 3 weeks at a time, if progressing to the next round of interviews.
I would have to follow up, and the process was too slow.
