A total mess!

Pros

Free lunch on Wednesday. Free snacks, though dwindling. Company pays health premiums.

Cons

There is no strategy, leadership just follows what Canva does. Many people are unhappy due to lack of leadership and direction. Senior leadership is constantly testing the same things with the same outcomes, never learning anything new. CEO changes direction monthly and is too focused on the finance side of business, not at all customer focused. Senior leadership micro manages employees. No career growth or advancement. No culture anymore. Nepotism.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry your experience differs so strongly from others at the company. Our strategy has been consistent since 2016; create the best visual tools and online destination for emerging entrepreneurs in the digital space. While we may make mistakes along the way, we pride ourselves in being aggressive to try new and innovative things that will make a long term difference for our customers. For example, we spent 2 years building an entirely new platform for innovation to serve our current and future customers beyond what others will be capable of. We pride ourselves on flexible work/life balance policies and are building an exciting, fast-paced culture that can take advantage of the rapidly changing digital marketing landscape. We do this together as teams that value trust, inclusion, learning and joy (our 4 core values). But we must be failing in communicating this well to have this heartfelt of a reaction. We will do better!

Pros

The number one pro at PicMonkey has to be the staff. They're smart, kind and easy to work with. The office is gorgeous, many benefits like lunch on Wednesday, events, stocked kitchen etc.

Cons

As with any growing company, there are changes and growing pains. It will be interesting to see leadership step up and guide the company in the next couple. I'm hopeful they make smart decisions that drive the business forward. I give culture and values a 3/5 because culture is great-- values are muddled. I also give senior leadership a 3/5 because there's a lot changing and it's too early to know.
