Pros

• Great benefits, especially for parents. • Strong ownership of your success, and a good culture of giving/receiving kudos. • Ways of working supports strong, effective collaboration for Remote team members, or team members distributed across different offices. • Effective onboarding process has you well supported into the complexities of the wider organisation. • Great "don't take yourself too seriously" vibe. Though high performance is praised and rewarded, it doesn't come at the cost of hyper-critical seriousness often found in significantly less successful tech companies.

Cons

• Canva's job titles, management structure and terminologies are quite different when compared to other tech companies. Takes a minute to understand the equivalent terms used out in the wild. • Salary wasn't as competitive as expected, but the options package and semi-regular ability to cash those options in helps to counterbalance this.

Excellent company

Pros

- Excellent company - Great engineering practises - A lot of smart people - Amazing benefits - Progressive - A lot of people genuinely care about the product

Cons

- a lot of young people that got their senior positions from tenure rather than actual experience - next to no transparency in regard to salaries. A "total rewards" doc is simply not enough if you have no idea where you sit in your band - can only alleviate most benefits if you live in Sydney. I feel bad for a lot of the remote employees when eating my free lunch every day and going to free fitness classes every day - crunch time when approaching the end of the season - career development can largely be driven by what team you're on. some teams only pump out features
