Senior Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - Australia

Process

I had an awful interview experience at Canva. Please read this first before considering joining.

I was given a verbal offer for a Senior Frontend Engineer role at Canva, which was extremely exciting. I was then ghosted for around two weeks after being given the offer.

I then received a call saying the offer was rescinded, even though the "hiring team was extremely keen to take me on as a B3 engineer." The reason cited was a "change in the hiring process." The role (and similar roles) are still up and advertised.

I have since followed up a few times with the TA I worked with, but I have received no messages or calls back.

Overall, I was extremely disappointed after 8+ hours of studying and interviewing with Canva, especially the rollercoaster of emotions receiving an offer for the level I was hoping for, and then the offer being rescinded.
