This is literally the best company I've ever worked for. And this includes freelancing for Canva.
We work hard and we play hard
They make a real effort to communicate with staff
The focus on continuous learning and growth is amazing!
The performance-based bonuses are the best part of our compensation
My actual job - most days, it's challenging in a good way.
The quarterly bonus! This is the only company that makes me feel like what I do on a quarterly basis has a concrete impact.
They believe so strongly in the product and what it can do, and they believe just as strongly in the people that work for the company.
The growth culture for sure! Everyone in the company is encouraged to expand skill sets, explore different disciplines, and step out of their comfort zones - both personally and professionally. It can be intimidating, but also invigorating.
We all work hard AND work smart. The lot of us are determined to have the best output we can manage given the circumstances, while having fun at the same time. Oh, and we all have a GREAT sense of humor.
Lots of stuff makes me happy at work; but in summary it all comes down to autonomy, mastery and purpose (as Dan Pink would say in his book "Drive"). I'm trusted to do my work the way I need to do it. I'm given the resources to be good at work. I'm working towards a future I can get behind.
