Pros

The values of Canvas have been designed to empower the employees to think and act like owners. In action, this means a flat org. structure and transparency across the company, helping people to quickly identify what needs to be fixed and get together with other team members to make it happen. This way of working tends to attract talented and smart people to the business. Canvas is co-located in a thriving tech hub that creates a fresh and exciting place to work.

Cons

Takes a little time for some people to think like owners and not just employees

Pros

Flexible PTO (though this is changing). Work-life balance was decent, especially earlier on. My customers were the best part of the role, and I genuinely felt for them as they navigated a significant amount of organizational change.

Cons

I stayed longer than I probably should have because the strongest parts of my experience were early on. After the acquisition, the culture shifted enough that many people started reevaluating their time here. It became more process-heavy, less transparent, and much more rigid than before. Management experiences varied widely. At one point, I went months without a clear direct manager or consistent point of contact, which created confusion around ownership and expectations.
