Pros

- Amazing culture. In fact, among all the companies I've worked for, this has been the best one! Really thought that I'll stay here for at least 10 years just for the company culture alone - Work with the best people. During my stay here, I've worked with several people who are so talented and so well-versed and knowledgeable with their crafts. It's so nice to be around people like that, as they can motivate and inspire you at the same time.

Cons

- Because the company is so good, not much people leave/resign so there are not much opportunities for you to do much with your current role unless you transfer to a different team or do more tasks. - The company had grown so much that it felt like it wasn't like it was before. There were just too many people doing the same thing, things got a lot stressful, and management became a bit more chaotic.

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.

Cons

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”.
