Pros

I'm only on my 4th month of employment with Canva but the opportunities and platform for me to excel both personally and professionally have been stellar. Canva is a safe place to show your vulnerabilities and never discriminates. The support I received when I opened about being HIV positive was overwhelmingly heartwarming. I'm currently working on risk & dispute mitigation processes in collaboration with colleagues in Sydney so if you have an idea and you know how to execute that idea, you will be given that opportunity to pursue it no matter your tenure. Canva is just an amazing company with amazingly great and wonderful human beings, empowering each other to be forces for good to achieve our crazy big goals.

Cons

Salary banding can be improved especially if someone is already doing a great deal of work outside his/her job role.

⁠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”.
