Canva Reviews

Canva has recently started a whole host of initiatives in response to COVID-19, and before that in response to the bushfires. Can't list them all in detail here, but people do genuinely follow the company's value to "be a good human".

People are very welcoming, we're very goal oriented but also not forgetting to celebrate when a goal is hit, plus we have a seasonal gathering where the company gets to showcase projects to everyone, giving us an incredible visibility on what is going on within the company. As one of our values stated, everyone always aspires to be a force for good on and off work.

Canva seems to understand that a lot of this bias is unconscious, and has training sessions to help make employees aware of their potential biases when conducting interviews, and suggest ways to improve. There are childcare programs for parents during the school holidays, and parents often bring their kids to work during that time. There was recently pride week, which had a number of LGBT themed events. The office also has unisex bathrooms, which help make work safer for transgender employees.

I am currently working on a cross platform project with the hope to bring Canva's codebase to run seamlessly on all platforms imaginable. Day to day responsibilities include actively developing and coding for the web.

I have a great mentor to help me on-board and also planning my career growth.

Office space is nice, easy to reach from the central station. We have a gym and a rooftop. There's no dress code, you can wear whatever is comfortable for you!

From my own experience, it starts with a phone call from the recruiter here we get to know about me as a candidate and Canva as an employer we also did the first phone screening questions related to the job, then I was put in touch for a remote coding interview, and finally an on-site interview as the final step.

Pay is competitive, and free breakfast/lunch is a great bonus.

We have sessions that helps you learn technical skills like code reviews, writing efficient code etc., and we also have sessions for improving communication skills and leadership skills.

Very flexible. No one expects you to start / end at any particular time. All that is expected is that you get the work done, and are around / available for meetings.

A lot of the food eaten by everyone in the office is sourced from a local farm that Canva owns. They use recycled toilet paper in all the bathrooms, and all the waste is separated and composted/recycled where possible.
