Pros
Canva is incredible - and I’m not just talking about the product. The best part about working at Canva isn’t just championing an amazing app on the verge of changing the design world, it’s the collaborative, supportive, and happy working environment. Canva isn’t your average corporation, it’s a start-up (and a small one at that). What we’ve got is a 100-person team (split between Sydney and Manila) catering to the design needs of 10-12 million people worldwide. Once you join the company, you basically jump right into work, but the beauty of it is having the support of everyone around you. Whether it’s by lending a hand, taking over some tasks, or simply providing feedback, everyone sets each other up for success. It’s the people that truly make a difference. Impending deadlines are practically a constant but the one thing I’ve noticed about working at Canva is that no matter how busy everyone gets, you are still surrounded by incredibly hardworking, happy people who genuinely love what they do, and find the fun in doing it.
Cons
Miscommunication at times. Not uncommon in any workplace and easily resolved. Management has done an awesome job in keeping everyone looped in on all the goings-on, and giving everyone a clearer idea of the bigger picture.
