Initial screen with the HR, walked through Canva, high levels of the role and salary expectation Second interview: with the hiring manager Third Interview/Final Interview: further stakeholders Overall the actual interview process was standard, however the communication regarding the expectations of the interview and timeliness was very disappointing. Canva have a huge influx of people due to redundancies in the tech sector, however not hearing back for three weeks between interviews with multiple follow ups is disappointing. No outcome email was provided after the final interview, again after multiple follow ups. Hopefully this was an isolated incident as the first engagement with the Canva did not position it as a company that respected candidate experience and lacks organisation.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in Jan 2025
Interview
5x calls with lots of different people in the org
Strung out over months and months, potentially due to holiday period.
Overall felt very organised though and was kept in the loop along the way
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Canva in Jan 2024
Interview
Process was very slow, wouldn't hear feedback from recruiter for up to 3 weeks at a time, if progressing to the next round of interviews.
I would have to follow up, and the process was too slow.
