Pros

What seemed like a cool company (with free lunches, a dog-friendly office, and an open bar) was only the beginning. What happened when COVID hit really showed what Canva's true DNA was made from. The moment we started to work remotely, every team went into overdrive to take care of everyone at Canva. We had free hampers delivered to our homes from the farms and providers who used to serve us food when we were in the office (to keep us fed and those providers in business during the downturn), live comedians/musicians/talent shows on Friday Night Zoom calls, mental health and wellbeing webinars, free counseling, surveys to check-in with employees, amazing cook-along sessions. You name it - Canva is doing it. They actually couldn't have done more if they had tried. When you have a workplace that fosters such great care in everything they do, it makes every team and every person that much more proud of their work - and it shows through the quality and frequency of amazing work that is put out.

Cons

I can't finish the hamper of food that gets delivered to my house. Honestly, the cons are so negligible it's laughable. There's certainly no place in Australia, if not the world over, that's like Canva to work for.

Pros

⁠The work culture is amazing and highly collaborative. There are plenty of opportunities to learn new technologies, and the perks/benefits are excellent.⁠The work culture is amazing and highly collaborative.

Cons

The company is growing very fast, so internal processes and structure change frequently. Work-life balance can be tricky during big product launches.⁠

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”.
