Pros

We are spoilt in so many ways. We have great benefits and we work with people who genuinely care. You'll also work on some of the most complex and interesting work out there.

Cons

This isn't a con but more something to be aware of if you're thinking of joining. Canva is a high-performance culture and you'll be working with high achievers so you have to be ready for the workload, delivery output, and fast turnaround times. The upside to this is you become incredibly organised, and resilient and you can tackle pretty much anything that is thrown your way. Amazing skills for future endeavors.

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.

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”.
