Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Australia

June 6, 2023
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied directly via the Canva website in April 2023.

I immediately received an automated reply that assured me they review and respond to every application. More than 2 months later, I have heard absolutely nothing more from them.

Issues:

  • The automated email is from a no-reply address and offers no way to get in touch or check the status.
  • The email says it may take "a few weeks" to get back to you. That's a pretty poor response time anyway, but it also means that you don't know how long to wait before deciding that they're not actually getting back to you. After 1 month, I assumed I wasn't going to hear from them, but it was also too late to bother following up.
  • Committing to responding to every applicant and then failing to do so just makes it worse. You started the process with promises you can't keep.
