Senior DevOps Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia

November 26, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months.

A bit on the heavier side compared with many other tech companies, but not surprising given the influence from Atlassian, which has a similarly heavy process, and many people at Canva are formerly from Atlassian.

  • Initial recruiter screen
  • Hiring manager call
  • 3 x technical interviews
  • 1 x Strategy, Communication and Leadership interview

The last few are grouped into what they call the "final interview," which is a bit disingenuous since it is more than half a day of several different sessions. After going through these, they unceremoniously dropped me and offered no feedback or information on why I didn't make the bar. Further attempts to get in touch were met with silence, which I find quite disrespectful given the time I invested.
