Pros

When reading the reviews here about Canva before joining, it seemed quite amazing to read how great it was. As a recent newbie I can confirm that it really is as good as it says here. The team in London are all without exception incredibly friendly and welcoming, there is a relaxed approach and a great vibe in place. Lots of great activities to take part in and everyone is very supportive and helpful with the work you are doing. The benefits really are fantastic, with the Vibe and Thrive benefit being a different model and annual leave is higher than average. Plenty of opportunities here to shine if you are happy to put the effort in and work hard, creating ideas and making your own moments. Senior management here and Australia truly live the values and we are actively encouraged to join in with philanthropic activities to leave the world in a better place.

Cons

Not a con as such, but this is a very fast moving company growing at scale, so ideas and concepts change quickly. Whilst this works for me, it might not be for everyone who is looking for a more structured workplace.

Pros

* Friendly, genuine people * Inclusiveness is observed strictly * There are good engineers, some with a wealth of life/work experience * A good working atmosphere with some genuine attitude towards accepting and sharing feedback, and promoting positive change to processes within the company * Very open to international people

Cons

* Due to the high growth nature of the company, a lot of processes / practices need to scale faster than possible, which causes process contention and stress in decision making * Engineers can be quite opinionated on tech choices / design
