  1. Senior Software Engineer Interview

    Anonymous Employee in Sydney

    Negative Experience
    Difficult Interview
    Application

    I applied online. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in Feb 2023

    Interview

    One of the WORST interview process I have gone through. They have more than 4 Technical interviews and 1st HR interview is also a technical interview. And their Interview process is damn funny where you need to remember the coding and the exact part of coding where they will test. they don't care about the concept and how an interviewee reaches the problem. they need coding. Only SCIENTISTS will join here. One of their interviews is live code; can you imagine it lasts 3 hours? and then you will hear No also. They except you to code by remembering all codes in your mind for the questions that they give on spot. My suggestion is please don't waste your time here on this. cause if you are an experienced developer there are plenty of opportunities rather than expect you to remember and byheart codes in your memory. these kind of companies will eventually fall into ground where people they hire doesnt have practical knowlege on how to approach a problem. they just need to byheart code where we have google these days. big NO for this company and their ridicioulus interview process.
