Pros

Working with a large group of extremely talented and driven people who are trying to achieve some huge goals is extremely motivating. The company is growing extremely fast so there is a lot of scope to learn, work on new concepts & technologies and of course a huge amount of ownership available to be taken with new projects and teams being created all the time. Culturally, the leadership genuinely care about making Canva a pleasant and inclusive place to work. As well as this, there is a focus on ensuring Canva is a force for good in the world & have put their money where their mouth is with a large number of charitable and sustainability initiatives - a small thing but nice to be part of a company that isnt margin grabbing at every turn!

Cons

Things are moving fast! New projects and teams spin up rapidly and given Canva is still very much in scaling mode, there is not always a process for everything and where there is it sometimes may not be fit for purpose anymore! While this is exciting & a massive opportunity for some people - it may not be everyones cup of tea.

Pros

From the interview process onwards, I get to work with some of the smartest, most engaged, most passionate people that I've ever had the privilege to work with. In any other company, this would sound like marketing fodder, but working at Canva really is that good. The engineering quality is extremely high and results driven. Everyone is encourage to set ambitious goals and strive for them, but no one is watching over your shoulder. Everyone is expected to be self-motivated and on top of their own work. This means that you can work mostly however you want as long as you are achieving results. The whole company has high goals and aspirations. The office is beautiful with daily gourmet lunches, a wonderfully spoilt office dog and great atmosphere. The culture is ridiculously friendly and inclusive and the management never fails to be approachable even as the company grows.

Cons

The company is growing fast and everyone is amazing so there are a lot of new names to learn!

Can't ask for anything more.

Cons

You tend to sound brainwashed when you have nothing bad to say about your employer.
