Pros
Canva overall is a fantastic place to work. Really great culture, everyone is encouraged to be free, creative, fun, and all that. You get amazing perks including lunches, snacks, health care, etc. I do feel that I had control over the more creative aspect of my work and I had opportunities to work with different teams.
Cons
China office is its own beast. Like all international internet companies, coming to China is very challenging. I was caught in the decision-making process of whether or not the company wanted to fully integrate and localize into the Chinese market. Unfortunately and also understandably, Canva decided to go with a somewhat minimum product localization approach to keep it simple across the global market. This means the product does not have the level of market-specific adaptations for a market so unique as China. This also means marketing a product that does not fit the market 100% is extra challenging.
