Process

  1. General recruiter chat, with JavaScript questions at the end. Be prepared for that. Learn the latest JavaScript APIs (Set, Map).

  2. One-hour JavaScript interview. Be comfortable with promises and recursion.

  3. Three-hour interview, with three programming questions and one behavioral question.

    • The first programming question was about CSS flexboxes.
    • The second was a JavaScript countdown timer with start and stop buttons.
    • The third was a Snake game (not using JavaScript canvas).

All interviews are conducted by Canva engineers, even the behavioral interview, which I found surprising. I performed well on all questions; however, I didn't finish the Snake game.

I felt that throughout the whole process, Canva is not looking for a balanced individual, just a good coder. There are so many rounds of programming questions and only one behavioral one, which isn't even conducted by senior management. I would imagine your team would be filled with genius developers with poor personalities.
