Canva Work Experiences

Nice if you want to chill and stop learning; weird culture, though

Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: - Work-life balance is very good; they respect your time and don't encourage working outside of normal work hours. - Fully remote is available. - Good perks for in-office employees, like free food and lots of social events.

Cons: Focuses too much on culture and social events, feels a bit cult-like at times. Depending on the team, can feel isolated in your role. Deskilling experience, siloed in your work, and it's hard to branch out. Toxic positivity, hard to give feedback honestly. A lot of people are just coasting or doing the bare minimum.
