      Pros

      - Work with a lot of extremely talented and humble people. - Constant learning of useful engineering topics. - Freedom & flexibility. - Huge opportunities to work on what you like and propose ideas. - Perks. Everywhere. All the time. Breakfast, snacks, "michelin-star" style lunches, beers on tap, fully stocked bar, fun company events, team bonding dinners. - Great office, full of space and awesome furniture, located in the best neighbourhood in Sydney. - Management take special care on the people that's part of the company. You won't be a number, everyone's opinion is considered, and there's no verticality at all.

      Cons

      - You have to be self-conscious with all the food & beers, or you'll gain 5 kgs like me.

      Pros

      Product is beloved by users. Brand affinity is second to none which makes being a marketer a lot of fun. Genuinely good and caring coworkers who want to build something great. Hiring bar is high. Vibe and Thrive benefit is clever and unique.

      Cons

      Behind the brand is a cult like culture with the “founders” surrounded by yes people (whether they are aware of it or not). Mediocrity seems to be tolerated among management’s “old guard” causing tension and churn with newer and sometimes more experienced leaders. Insecure leaders at some of the highest levels perpetuate much of the toxic behaviors described in the reviews below such as gaslighting and favoritism. People “disappear” with little to no explanation, but hey, it’s the “Canva way”.
