It was super casual, the TA is pretty chill! Love that they were really chill in the company! I would say tho, the process is neither slow nor fast. I was just expecting to get the job in a way looool

The process took 8 weeks from start to finish including long periods without updates or communication. As I was casually looking I wasn't too fussed with the delays but it was still not very respectful of my time as an applicant. I had a positive first interview in person where the direction of the company and the possibilities for the role were laid out. I was then given a task via Google Docs that I couldn't access for the first few days as permission hadn't been granted to me. I flagged this on the day I received it but it wasn't resolved until a few days later. This ate into the time I was given to complete the task with no allowances made to accommodate the lost time. Regardless of this, the strategy I produced propelled me through to the final interview. In the final interview there was a decided theme of "everyone wants to work here, what makes you you good enough for us?". Personally, I approach interviews as a mutual discussion of needs and goals where both parties should benefit. The interview itself took 3 hours and featured two staff members, one who didn't ask a single question. By the end of the interview I was exhausted and questioning why I applied. Suffice it to say, I didn't get the role. Since then I've found a role I love and every so often am served job ads (via LinkedIn) for other appropriate and exciting positions at Canva, but after my experience interviewing for this role I wouldn't consider ever putting myself through something like that again. The culture might be great with legendary perks and benefits but the recruitment process leaves a lot to be desired.
