Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
I applied online and received a call from the recruiter to discuss my current position, my future goals, and Canva and the role.
You will be given a homework assignment to complete and submit in your own time. If your code is well-architected, high-performing, and clean, you will advance to the in-person interview.
This involves being interviewed by two engineers, who asked me to extend my code in various ways during a live coding session. The next stage was another round where I was interviewed by two more engineers. They asked me to write some tests and explain the reasoning behind my code's structure and how I could improve its performance.
