I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Canva in May 2021
Interview
3 types of interviews:
- 30 min screening interview to gauge your knowledge on JS + ES6 concepts and ability to interpret code snippets
- 60 min technical interview assessing your ability to probe questions, effectively communicate your thought process and explain how you’re going to solve a problem. These qualities are more favoured than the depth of technical skill. When I wasn’t sure of how to approach a problem, they would suggest a potential topic I could look into and I used mdn docs to understand how to use it. I think they like it when you can demonstrate your ability to be resourceful especially in situations where you don’t know the answers.
- 30 min values interview chatting with someone. I don’t know what they assess here but I felt like I just had a really relaxing and genuine conversation with another person.
Lastly got a catch up zoom call to discuss feedback and status of my application

Question 1
I don't remember but something related to computer systems i.e. how to divide storage? CPU related questions too
The interview experience is good and not too hard. Even I didn't get the offer, the recruiter was happy to schedule a call with me to talk about the feedback.
