Pros & Cons
The culture and work-life balance at Canva is amazing! It helps me unlock my full working potential as I am encouraged to work at my own pace and to the best of my comfort.
Work hours are flexible as you can work at your own pace which boosts your efficiency the most. You can work fully remotely or in the office depending on your choice.
I get to work with very talented people and solve interesting problems at scale.
Free food, club activities, and events can sometimes seem too good to be true. Additionally, the company is flexible and trusting of different working schedules.
The company is extremely committed to diversity.
If you live in an area that does not have a hub or office, there will be less interaction unless you go to the office. This makes it hard for people to network and meet up regularly.
Working at a large company often means you specialise in a narrow set of tools, which can limit your exposure compared to working at a smaller startup.
Can be a fast-paced, stressful environment when launches are approaching.
Currently, I think my daily job involves much busy work without much time to understand the context.
Being remote first, although this is another really great benefit, I sometimes wish I could see my teammates more in person.

Career Prospects
There are plenty of opportunities at Canva, but sometimes it can feel overwhelming to compete for those opportunities with very talented co-workers.
The team culture makes me feel safe and supported. As a graduate, I always have many questions and unknowns when I dive into the code base. My team is always patient to teach me a lot.
My manager is a great mentor and gives me some good and constructive feedback regularly to ensure that I am developing my career the way I want it to be.
The best office space I've seen so far. It has all the things that you need such as breakfast, lunch, snacks, ergonomic desks and chairs, coffee and bar areas, etc.
