1. Screening call with recruiter, where some JS questions are asked 2. Data structures & algorithms interview 3. 4 back to back interviews: coding, system design, technical review, and a values-based behavioural

I had an opportunity to test myself in Canva. I passed 5 interviews and expected to get feedback in 2-3 days (information from the recruiter) but there was no reply. The interview process consists of 5 stages: an initial tech interview and 4 final interviews. - Initial tech interview. Leet-code style problem (data structures and algorithms) Final interviews: - Architecture. It's the most controversial section ever. It's neither a classical software system design interview nor even frontend architecture, where you are asked to design architecture from scratch and where you have some requirements in the beginning. An interviewer simply asks you to design an app that includes some list of data - no requirements, no context of application. What even made me surprised during the interview was that the interviewer didn't answer clarifying questions and didn't tell me about expectations. - Programming Language Fluency. I was asked to implement a part of a popular game using plain JavaScript. No theoretical questions about js, browser API e.t.c - Technical Review & Technical Comms. Discussed with other Canva's engineers about what is wrong with a particular piece of code and what advice I would give to an author of the code. It looks like a code review - Strategy, Communications & Leadership. It's like a classical behavioral interview where you asked about achievements, leadership, ownership, disagreements etc. Three weeks later I got feedback about interview processes - where I was good and where I failed.
