Entretien
The interview process is painfully SLOW. This was mostly due to the lack of responsiveness from the HR recruiter. My interview process lasted for 3.5 months where I found myself aggressively chasing the recruiter about my application.
The interview process is a slow 4 rounds with several meetings scattered in between with the HR recruiter and other Canva PMs:
1. Meet with HR Recruiter who will give you PM Interview questions (Describe the process to launch a new feature)
2. Do a formal presentation with 2 Canva PMs to showcase one of your projects. The panel will question your process and work.
3. Complete a take-home assignment where you are asked to do the job within a week's time (aka plan the roadmap for the quarter based on limited data, provide mockups and draft an implementation strategy)
4. Have a 3.5 hour final round interview with other PMs to go over your take-home assignment and ask about your working style and career history.
NOTE: In between these rounds, you will have to schedule time to speak with other PMs or HR to go over expectations the next round. You WILL have to chase the recruiter on the status of your application between round 2, 3 & 4 as noted in other reviews.
Assuming you passed Rounds 1-4 above, then you meet with senior leadership to tell you what team/project you are placed in and you may not even like it or match with any of your interests. Team placement is based on what openings are available at the time which you find out after 3 months of interviewing. After this meeting, they will finally present you an offer.
Canva assumes that you have no other offers or not applying to any other jobs. The company strings you along for the recruitment and interviewing ride only to be let down by a disappointing sub-market offer and boring project to work on.
As an interviewee, make sure to confirm interview process timing, actual role/department & salary expectations upfront with the recruiter in your first call. It will save yourself the heartache of going through a 3.5 month interview for nothing.

Question 1
1. Describe a product you launched
2. Plan the Spring 2020 Roadmap for Canva Pro with the goal of 2x the number of users.
I was asked to prepare some slides in Canva describing products I liked and had worked on, and then present it. The interviewers asked some questions but didn't go too deep. I then was asked if I had any questions for Canva.

Many rounds, take home tasks. Role evaporated halfway through the process. Their human resources and recruiters failed to communicate effectively or professionally. I would not recommend this company to potential employees.

The hiring process was very long, involving 4 rounds. The first one was a chat with the recruiter, followed by a panel interview with a couple of Product Managers about your product success story and favourite product. Then, you need to do a take home exercise about Canva Pro, followed by another panel interview with a couple of Product Leads. I didn't get to the final round though, but I was made aware that this would involve speaking with the Head of Product. Although the whole process was long and involved lots of preparation, the recruiter is there to support you every step of the way, making you feel that they want you to be successful.
