During the 1.5 years I've been at Canva so far:
- I saw someone cry on a Zoom call with our Philippines team.
- Canva's CTO was forced to apologize because his totally valid criticisms hurt the feelings of someone in a team that wasn't doing its job.
- Bob Iger became an investor, prompting an engineer to post a very angry message in a company-wide Slack channel complaining that Bob Iger isn't pro-diversity enough. The Slack channel was locked, and I don't see that engineer at Canva anymore. The engineer must have resigned or gotten fired.
Incidents like that last one are why I'm giving Canva a 1-star review for diversity. A small handful of Canva employees tear each other down for diversity's sake and wind up making worse strides toward D&I than even a heartless megacorp for which "diversity and inclusion" is just a box to check. I wish I could reveal the other fun stories, but I'd need to go into details, and Canva makes us sign non-disparagement agreements. I don't want to get sued, haha.

The first round was okay, building a logic for a simple kids' game. The second round included three interviews back to back, which was a bit harder than I expected. The position was for a mid-level developer.
