Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Australia
Process
The process might differ in the future, as I interviewed during COVID/isolation times. The interviews happened in two stages:
- Verbal technical questions and personal background discussion over the phone with a recruiter. My recruiter was very friendly, setting a bubbly and conversational tone that made it easy to overcome my interview anxieties.
- A technical interview over Zoom with two Canva engineers. I shared my IDE screen and a digital whiteboard (not required but useful if you have a tablet handy). These interviewers were also very friendly.
There were opportunities to ask the interviewers about Canva in both interviews. It was a really pleasant experience!
The date I've given was when the first (verbal questions) interview occurred. The technical interview took place about two weeks later.
