Cons
Canva promotes itself as a value-driven organization, but my experience was far from that. Favoritism runs deep within the culture. Management lacks consistency and direction. Constant structural changes disrupt active deals and quotas, largely due to disorganized operations and poor data hygiene. The Sales Ops team often couldn't keep territories or data aligned, and AEs were left to wait until the mess is cleaned up while still being held accountable for numbers. Some managers are judgmental and unprofessional. If you don't align with them personally, they will find ways to push you out. There is no true feedback culture. Challenging decisions or speaking up is seen as insubordination, not constructive input. It's very much a "my way or the highway" environment. There's no formal ramp or support structure, just high pressure from day one and fear-mongering. I've seen talented, hardworking people let go without a performance improvement plan, despite genuine efforts to succeed. It's disappointing, especially from a company that markets itself as innovative and people-first. Canva has potential, but unless leadership becomes more accountable. The revolving door will continue.
