Pros

What seemed like a cool company (with free lunches, a dog-friendly office, and an open bar) was only the beginning. What happened when COVID hit really showed what Canva's true DNA was made from. The moment we started to work remotely, every team went into overdrive to take care of everyone at Canva. We had free hampers delivered to our homes from the farms and providers who used to serve us food when we were in the office (to keep us fed and those providers in business during the downturn), live comedians/musicians/talent shows on Friday Night Zoom calls, mental health and wellbeing webinars, free counseling, surveys to check-in with employees, amazing cook-along sessions. You name it - Canva is doing it. They actually couldn't have done more if they had tried. When you have a workplace that fosters such great care in everything they do, it makes every team and every person that much more proud of their work - and it shows through the quality and frequency of amazing work that is put out.

Cons

I can't finish the hamper of food that gets delivered to my house. Honestly, the cons are so negligible it's laughable. There's certainly no place in Australia, if not the world over, that's like Canva to work for.

Pros

I'm only on my 4th month of employment with Canva but the opportunities and platform for me to excel both personally and professionally have been stellar. Canva is a safe place to show your vulnerabilities and never discriminates. The support I received when I opened about being HIV positive was overwhelmingly heartwarming. I'm currently working on risk & dispute mitigation processes in collaboration with colleagues in Sydney so if you have an idea and you know how to execute that idea, you will be given that opportunity to pursue it no matter your tenure. Canva is just an amazing company with amazingly great and wonderful human beings, empowering each other to be forces for good to achieve our crazy big goals.

Cons

Salary banding can be improved especially if someone is already doing a great deal of work outside his/her job role.

Pros

Great product, lots of interesting engineering challenges, free lunches every day, "best place to work 2019"

Cons

The company is growing too fast and it has some issues restructuring itself to adapt to this fact. The company feels nostalgic about its early days and sometimes it's hard to feel like you are really a part of the product/company.
