Pros

- High expectations on skills, but no pressure at all - No deadlines and time to make things the right way - Newest technologies and strong emphasis on quality - Super smart and mostly young people everywhere - Shitload of perks like daily fresh lunch, team events, gym membership - Very nice, big open and modern offices in the heart of Sydney (or Manilla), with things like height-adjustable desks and showers - The founders are around 30 and super easy going - There is a big commitment to making the world a better place and you see that everywhere: Free stuff for charities, support for social- and equality groups, eco-friendly boxes for dinner - just to name a few - The salary is above average for IT - The company is growing rapidly - The product is very popular

Cons

- I'm feeling like this is a dream and I might wake up any moment

The best place I've ever worked

Pros

As a rapidly growing company, there are so many opportunities to develop your skills at Canva and pitch in, whatever area that you're passionate about. It's a very self driven environment, where everyone is trusted to deliver. With so much freedom and autonomy, there's an understanding that everyone keeps each other informed. Teams set their own goals and once reached, celebrate together in hilarious ceremonies. Everyone here is incredibly smart but also kind and helps each other succeed. Everyone wants to make an impact, everyday.

Cons

Because of the growth, scale, pace of change in the company, adaptability and ability to work with ambiguity is critical, so not an environment that's suited for everyone.

Pros

- Founders, investors and team care about the mission, vision and employees are deeply and are focused on creating game changing products that have positive impact (rather than focus only on monetisation) - Product is growing insanely fast and users adore it (i.e. look at #canvalove on twitter to get an idea for yourself) - Huge opportunity to learn from some of the most talented people in the world (I mean this - across Engineering, Growth, Product, Content etc) - Perks are incredible, including in-house chef prepared food (breakfast, lunch), multiple celebrations and importantly a fantastic culture Very inclusive and welcoming company to work at.

Cons

Hardly any. Canva's rapid growth can mean there are challenges scaling as a company - but Leadership are putting measures in place to make sure we avoid many pitfalls other companies experience who've seen growth like this.
