Pros

- Opportunity to work with smart/talented people everyday - True sense of cohesion, while the company has grown immensely over the last 5 years, everyone is aligned with Mel’s vision, trying to deliver real value to Canva customers - Great work environment, breakfast and catered lunch provided everyday - There are so many new projects, you will find yourself an owner of a product or service much faster than is possible at most other companies

Cons

- Growing pains, there are many areas that lack a formalised process due to the growth the company has experienced - Some teams are not yet balanced with a dedicated product manger or backend resources. This may be exciting for employees with a cross-functional mindset, but is also frustrating for others who are masters of their craft

Pros

From the interview process onwards, I get to work with some of the smartest, most engaged, most passionate people that I've ever had the privilege to work with. In any other company, this would sound like marketing fodder, but working at Canva really is that good. The engineering quality is extremely high and results driven. Everyone is encourage to set ambitious goals and strive for them, but no one is watching over your shoulder. Everyone is expected to be self-motivated and on top of their own work. This means that you can work mostly however you want as long as you are achieving results. The whole company has high goals and aspirations. The office is beautiful with daily gourmet lunches, a wonderfully spoilt office dog and great atmosphere. The culture is ridiculously friendly and inclusive and the management never fails to be approachable even as the company grows.

Cons

The company is growing fast and everyone is amazing so there are a lot of new names to learn!
