Pros

- There's lots of talented creative and driven people - Really interesting problems to solve as we scale - Having a positive impact on the world through our product - I've been approached by people when I'm on the street wearing a Canva tee who just stop and say how much they love our product. It's nice to know that our product is having a positive impact on the world. - Still feels like it's the beginning of our journey, so there's lots of upside and growth opportunities.

Cons

It's growing really fast - which means there are lots of challenging problems to solve. If you aren't the type of person that likes learning rapidly, and solving problems, you probably won't enjoy it.

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”.
