Pros

- Great opportunities to work on a product that millions of people use - Canva is growing fast, so there is plenty of work to do - Accelerated growth of your career, especially if you're new to the software industry - Fun and challenging technical problems to tackle - Lots of things to learn and a very newbie-friendly environment for new opportunities for self-improvement; a variety of tools and technologies used, and a strong emphasis on utilising and improving technical and communication skills - Everyone around you is really smart, helpful and accepting - Newbie-friendly environment - coach/buddy system allows you to maximise your potential - Lots of fun events and meaningful activities to participate in, including charity work - Remote-friendly working environment and flexible hours

Cons

- Can be a bit of learning curve (in terms of technical skills), especially if you haven't had much work experience (even if you find the interview process relatively easy :P) - There's lots of things happening and lots of things to keep track of, which at times can be overwhelming (but you slowly get used to it)
