Pros

Lots of good benefits like the free food and the medicine allowance that's separate from the usual HMO.

Cons

Very very slow and stagnant growth especially with promotions. Their promotion system is also pretty weird because you can get a new role and have new responsibilities but won't get a salary increase. Senior management skills are also very questionable.

Pros

Canva is truly a great place to work, offering not just a competitive salary but also benefits that really take care of you. What makes it even better is the people - you’re surrounded by teammates who are not only talented but also genuinely care about making a positive impact. It’s a place where you feel valued, supported, and inspired to do your best work. The upper management is also very approachable and doesn't make you feel like you're just a mere employee.

Cons

While Canva is an overall great place to work, one of the challenges can be the way specialization managers often implement changes without providing enough clarity. This can lead to confusion and make it difficult to know what’s expected, especially when those expectations aren't always clear or realistic. It can be frustrating to navigate these situations without the right guidance or understanding of the bigger picture. There's also this OSL from the A&B specialization who openly and vocally chooses to let grievances pass without addressing them, which creates an environment where issues fester and team morale suffers. It's crucial to address concerns directly, as this not only resolves problems but also shows the team that their voices are heard and valued.
