I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Canva in Apr 2024
Interview
The hiring process was very long, involving 4 rounds. The first one was a chat with the recruiter, followed by a panel interview with a couple of Product Managers about your product success story and favourite product. Then, you need to do a take home exercise about Canva Pro, followed by another panel interview with a couple of Product Leads. I didn't get to the final round though, but I was made aware that this would involve speaking with the Head of Product. Although the whole process was long and involved lots of preparation, the recruiter is there to support you every step of the way, making you feel that they want you to be successful.

Question 1
How would you make sure that your idea ties back to your goals?
I was asked to prepare some slides in Canva describing products I liked and had worked on, and then present it. The interviewers asked some questions but didn't go too deep. I then was asked if I had any questions for Canva.

Question 1
Why I made certain product decisions in the product I used in my slides
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in May 2024
Interview
Many rounds, take home tasks. Role evaporated halfway through the process. Their human resources and recruiters failed to communicate effectively or professionally. I would not recommend this company to potential employees.
