Pros

The company offers amazing benefits, with medical coverage being a standout feature that truly prioritizes employee well-being. It’s a significant advantage that adds real value to working here. Additionally, the team is filled with highly skilled, creative, and hardworking people. Collaborating with such talented colleagues makes the work environment fun, but also encourages each other’s success.

Cons

Growth feels stagnant, and the opportunities for role changes seem almost nonexistent. Despite wanting to develop and explore new challenges, it’s incredibly difficult to move forward within the company. When it comes to addressing concerns or sharing how you feel, the response is often unsettling and met with false positivity. Even writing a review here already feels like I am doing something wrong.

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”.
