Pros

There are a lot of nice perks at Canva. Breakfast and lunch are prepared by chefs on-site. The whole team eats together. There are different fitness activities available and very strong social cohesion in the group. The people are probably the best part! Everyone is positive and friendly and passionate about their craft. The team feels like a family. Ideas trump egos because, at the end of the day, everyone wants what's best for the product. There's a strong sense of egalitarianism in the culture; there are no managers and everyone treats each other as equals. They also provide equity, which means at the end of the day that everyone takes ownership of the company and feels motivated. It's a pretty amazing culture. It's also growing at such a pace that future opportunities are enormous.

Cons

The freezer full of Tim Tams is a great, yet dangerous perk. Speaking from experience, it might take a lot of self-discipline for a sweet tooth to tame their cravings.

Advice to Management

Continue to distill and refine the Canva purpose and values so that they are known both inside and outside the company.
