Pros

Perks are awesome (lunch, gym allowance, we are doing a full company retreat), but they are more or less in line with what other tech companies offer. It is management's devotion to their employees and customers that sets Canva apart, working along side this passion keeps your priorities straight, your work delivers value and, as the result, it's a pleasure to work here.

Cons

It's not a place for people with 9 to 5 mentality, if you want to come in to work, be productive for a bit but generally not care, this is not a place for you.

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”.
