Pros

*Great pay *Great tech stack/support/knowledge base: I do basically the same job at Canva as I did at my previous company and its just so much easier to get work done here *Great culture: really friendly, smart, inclusive, ambitious. Big focus on coaching, career development and staying sane (if you're working 50 hour weeks the attitude is generally "how can we help you get your work done in 40") *Lots of treats and perks: Flexible work, can be fully remote, we're all given a large annual budget for things like home office equipment and online courses, lots of fun team activities *Great office: gym, bar, rooftop bees, little rooms for focused work, kitchenette full of snacks, great public transport accessible location *Lots of paid leave, large "vibe" team to make sure employees have the best possible experience

Cons

Growing really fast (good) but sometimes the amount of work can be hard to predict

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”.
