Can be good, can be terrible

Pros

- great colleagues - company has a good reputation

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of experienced leadership and middle tier management, and unfortunately, their learning curve might come at your expense. Canva operates in a flawed waterfall model, and the cycle and effort planning are often inefficient and wasting significant amounts of time. Career growth can be challenging, and the growth framework (GDF) and performance evaluation criteria are quite vague. IMPORTANT ADVICE before joining: Ask for the growth framework for your role, whether all aspects are in place, and how advancement to the next level works. While the feedback culture can sometimes be good, it can also turn toxic. Coaches should also question how correct some of the feedback is. Questionable acquisitions, and also their future in doubt, could be that some fade away over time.
