Pros

Great compensation Awesome perks Good food

Cons

Canva is a great place for work but it is true that you can’t voice your feedback sometimes: As a woman I feel not great about how very senior male employees can take advantage of less senior ones. Everyone knows about it but no one does anything. Is this the expectation on how to progress in a company? I wish it would be slightly different even though there are so many great things about Canva but I find this very challenging. Please address sone of these challenges and align with your values.

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”.
