Pros

Great culture and lifestyle benefits, diverse teams and mobility across UK and Europe. Engineering is fun here for the most part!

Cons

Leadership doesn’t feel amazing. Rapid expansion is creating a vanishing culture. Offices are small and the brand is focused more so on being cutesy and almost childish that it’s hard to take seriously

Pros

Decent compensation, promising trajectory, solid values and working culture. Most people I work with are talented, amazing individuals. Work life balance highly fluctuates on team, time of year, and pure luck - but generally OK. Benefits consistent with big tech.

Cons

While I appreciate that Canva is fast moving, there are clearly some bad eggs in senior to exec level that can't plan their way out a one way street. Terrible communicators, unnecessarily secretive discussions, (lack of) process, or sometimes swinging the other way - full of bureaurcracy. Result? It rains down on everyone below - unclear needs, tight deadlines, constant pivots. Too many yes men along the way to push back reasonably. Something went wrong when hiring half of leadership. The other half are amazing individuals. You toss a coin sometimes on whether you'll be working with one or the other.
