Pros

Plenty of room for growth if you’re proactive about it. Great, genuine company culture that cares about employees. Inspiring program that lets employees actively participate in social and environmental initiatives, donation drives, and volunteerism. The best people.

Cons

It maintains a pace that many might take a while to get used to. It’s a highly competitive creative technology company after all.

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”.
