Pros & Cons

  • Great culture, great perks, love the product
  • Free food, snacks and drinks - 2000$ annually towards your own personal hobbies, fitness and wellbeing - Impactful work at an innovative company - Remote work available
  • Flexible working hours - generous benefits - culture of doing good engineering
  • I like working in such an inclusive and inviting environment. The ego-less nature of the company allows for most, if not all, employees to thrive
  • 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.
  • No keyboards and mice in the office; you have to bring your own.
  • Sometimes, a lot of your team might be remote/not in the same state, so it may be hard on some people.
  • Sometimes feel constrained by process, not very agile - dev tooling is somewhat bad - team feels somewhat underprepared for a grad, expected to hit the ground running
  • The downside is not being able to visit the main office in Sydney during grad week as it was reimagined. Previous cohorts and even the exiting intern cohort got to visit Sydney for the week and we didn't.
  • 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.

Career Prospects
There are half-yearly opportunities to move up the ranks, based primarily on performance. There are also opportunities to move within the company; however, I am not sure how difficult it is. I feel it would probably be very difficult as a grad without getting promoted.

Culture

Culture
I think in general the culture is very casual, which is nice, and it feels like people genuinely are interested in collaborating. Generally, people are eager and willing to socialise I think the workplace structure is fairly hierarchical; however, despite this, there is some opportunity for me to have my ideas heard.

Recruitment
It took a very long time for the recruiters to get back to me after the final interview - around a couple of months with no indication of when a response would happen.

Salary
2000$ annually to spend on anything related to wellbeing/office supplies/fitness, which is very nice and there are always Canva-funded events going on!

Training

Training
I think the training programs are fairly ineffective, just being some onboarding videos. It felt a bit like they just dumped us into the roles and expected us to hit the ground running.
