Pros

Used to love working here. The people are great, even though everyone notable has left/been terminated by this point due to the K1 acquisition

Cons

- Toxic and frustrating work environment entirely dominated by politics and favoritism - Ridiculous salary gaps even though the CEO "assured everyone they did a salary audit and it's even" (it is not) - Inadequate sales training - A WFH policy you can't actually use - Your product/company feedback goes nowhere unless it's related to something that can otherwise "improve" a failing company culture like suggesting company lunch potlucks - Leadership has little understanding of the business and their decisions reflect this on the daily

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the Glassdoor community. We appreciate all feedback, especially the constructive comments that help us improve. I'm glad you once enjoyed your experience here at the beginning of your tenure, and I'm sorry to hear that the end of your tenure saw your attitude change. We would agree that our sales training was not where we wanted it to be. Our goal is that all GoCanvas sales team members develop into fantastic salespeople, not just skilled in selling GoCanvas products. To that end we have implemented 3 different sales training initiatives so far this year, to rave reviews from the team. I'm sorry to hear you felt unable to use our WFH policy, it is open to everyone, as are our pot-lucks - that have been a part of our culture since 2014. However we must agree to disagree on your assessment of pay gaps - for the same role and experience, our team members are paid equally. I would agree with you that there have been some changes since our partnership with K1. The injection of expertise and best practices has helped us all elevate our game. It really is very exciting. For some team members who aren't interested in this next phase of the scaling journey, or those who prefer a less dynamic and accountable environment, the transition has been difficult. Some team members are now working with other companies as a result and we wish all our GoCanvas alums well. Thanks again for your feedback. We wish you well in your future career.

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.
