Got offered software position at canva, Sydney. There are not many data points available about canva on blind/internet except glassdoor which says 4.8 company rating and hard interviews. It'd be great if anyone can share about company, wlb, culture, future etc TC: 202k aud: 157/120/15 Yoe: 8

Can you breakup your TC components and add YOE?

Canva is a legit once in a generation hypergrowth decacorn. Also has been profitable for years. The culture (ie the people and what they value) and work life balance is good. Any hypergrowth co is going to be fast moving and slightly chaotic though, so if you are comfortable with ambiguity and making your own clarity and pushing for good outcomes you’ll do great
How do you define good wlb? Are you working 12+ hour days
Nope you can get by on 9-5. People can and do work harder for recognition but you don't have to
157k base is reasonable to me, did you end up joining?
I think that Canva will never be like Uber and Lyft because the fundamentals of the company are much greater. The margins are big by business model design vs at Uber and Lyft there are no margins left to be profitable :). I agree with fake good humans (aka company values the drinking cool aide level is often too much) comment but people don’t talk behind your back. I always give feedback and it is received if the bs is too big I skip level my manager and take it my own hands. You just need to be a bit thoughtful and be specific on the feedback (I’ll update here in case it changes) Diversity is great, totally disagree that non whites have no chance of progressing. Even the founder is non white.
How bad is the diversity issue there? most POC know companies love spreading pamphlets about diversity but know it's BS. Would love to hear from POC's. Also, lots of videos surfacing about Australian racist attacks quite frequently, how much white supremacy is there at Canva?
Tbh I had a pretty terrible experience with Canva recruitment that I’ve decided that I’ll never join such a company who doesn’t even focus on new people
Hey mate what's your offer? I work in Atlassian which is headquartered in Sydney, and I have heard nothing but good things about canva. Lots of employees swap places regularly. There are probably not going IPO very soon, might take some time though (that's what the founders habe told). How were the interviews and what is the offer ?
