Software Engineer Interview Experience - Indonesia

Process

  1. Zoom interview with a recruiter. They asked some trivia questions about JavaScript, then asked me to explain some JavaScript snippets. The recruiter clearly didn't understand how any of it worked but was told what to say by the company.

Also, the recruiter intimidated me and pressured me into setting a salary floor for negotiation purposes.

  1. An hour-long live coding interview with a Canva Engineer. I did everything the test asked for, and the Engineer even said the answer was correct. Yet, I still received a rejection stating I was not up to Canva's standards.

I hope the company understands how confusing it is to get the right solution for a technical test and then be told it's not good enough technically. If there were reasons beyond technical skills, those should have been used as the reason for rejection.
