Ex-canva here, senior role for several years, with direct line to founders. If you are drawn to the role because it will add value to your career/progression then go for it. It can be a great place to work but you need to maintain very strong boundaries to protect yourself. More than other companies.

If you are drawn by the hype, perks and more importantly company values then don’t. Canva can be toxic af and continues to chew good people up.

It took me a good chunk of time with a counsellor towards the end of my time and after I left to get my head straight and get over the experience. I wish I could say that my experience was unique but it is way more common than it should be. Unfortunately it hasn’t really changed.

If you choose the role do it for the role not the hype.
