Recruiter screen was relatively simple, asked about past projects and experience with experimentation. Also asked about current company, why Canva, why this role, etc. They also were very clear on compensation.
Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). Fui entrevistado pela Canva (Viena) em abr. de 2026
Entrevista
Process consisted of multiple stages, some of which were bunched together. Initial proposal was to have some blocks of interviews lasting several hours.
They use an automated booking system, but possible times were generally wildly outside of timezone (22:00 through to 06:00). I had to wait weeks to have meetings within 07:00 to 20:00.
1. Call with HR - standard screening (tell me about yourself etc)
2. SQL test (not using an IDE, on a notepad)
3-5. Python/R, statistics, behavioural
Difficult due to range of skills tested.
