Pros
I have been freelance content contributor with Canva (predominately with the Design School team) for 1.5 years. Truthfully, I can't sing enough praise for my experience in that time. - Canva has given me a foot in the door to my career in so many ways, giving my content an amazing platform to be shown on and unlocking so many doors. - I have been given so many opportunities to extend my portfolio and range of skills, even as a remote freelancer. I have never felt bored or tired with the content/work assigned to me and I am proud of the content I have helped produce in my time at Canva. - I feel I have learned (and continue to learn) an incredible amount through Canva, and again, as a remote freelancer I didn't expect that at all. I have developed valuable skills and knowledge over my time. - I have never felt undervalued as a freelancer, I have always been made to feel like a part of the team. - The people I have worked with all seem honestly dedicated and excited about growing Canva as a platform, and that excitement is contagious and very motivating. - I have never had an interaction with any staff member at Canva that even approached unpleasant. Communications have always been professional, prompt, and very friendly. Canva is very much a 'what you see is what you get' company in many regards – they present themselves as a passionate and driven community because that's truthfully what they are.
Cons
- Freelance briefs can sometimes be a little vague, but nothing that a quick email doesn't solve.
