I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Canva in Jun 2026
Interview
I only had a recruiter screen with Canva and it was a lot more thorough than I expected - I had prepared some star examples but not enough clearly!
Come prepared with lots of stories on how you’ve used data to drive growth and make sure to mention actual metrics.

Question 1
How do you work with data analysts or data scientists?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Canva (London, England)
Interview
Pretty standard interview process, definitely suffering from a bit of arrogance with seeing themselves as an employer of choice, maybe this is warranted - I couldn't tell.
The initial screen was about why should you be lucky enough to work here rather than what can you bring to the table, why Canva etc. I wasn't feeling it after meeting with the recruiter - they seemed disengaged and expected a huge sell from me. While I appreciate I need to sell myself I also expect the company to show interest in me and my experience beyond why would I be "lucky" enough to join Canva.
LONG. i was pulled into 5 interviews before being told i didn't secure the position. it was an extremely arduous process but they were communicative throughout the entire thing so it wasn't terrible. but alot alot of prep work for sure
