Pros

Canva is truly a great place to work, offering not just a competitive salary but also benefits that really take care of you. What makes it even better is the people - you’re surrounded by teammates who are not only talented but also genuinely care about making a positive impact. It’s a place where you feel valued, supported, and inspired to do your best work. The upper management is also very approachable and doesn't make you feel like you're just a mere employee.

Cons

While Canva is an overall great place to work, one of the challenges can be the way specialization managers often implement changes without providing enough clarity. This can lead to confusion and make it difficult to know what’s expected, especially when those expectations aren't always clear or realistic. It can be frustrating to navigate these situations without the right guidance or understanding of the bigger picture. There's also this OSL from the A&B specialization who openly and vocally chooses to let grievances pass without addressing them, which creates an environment where issues fester and team morale suffers. It's crucial to address concerns directly, as this not only resolves problems but also shows the team that their voices are heard and valued.

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.

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”.
