Pros

- Fully Stocked Kitchen - Flexible vacation policy and hours

Cons

- Leadership isn't honest about serious matters or does not provide full details - Executive level lacks diversity and empathy (one of their core values) - Employees fear being let go at any moment - Favoritism happens more often than it should - You can be overworked and they won't do anything to help you - Amount of work and hours put in does not equate to good performance unfortunately

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to share your opinion with the Glassdoor Community! We agree that hours put in at the office does not equate to good performance, and tenure does not equate to seniority or promotions. At GoCanvas we measure the performance of our team members by the impact they have on our customers, our team and our product. We find this supports diversity, as our team members are hired for, and measured by, the outcomes they achieve, not the qualities they possess. Diversity is something we have prioritized and been working on for the past few years at GoCanvas. We agree that early in your tenure the team was not particularly diverse and we have worked hard to change that. We are proud to say that this is no longer the case, we have diverse leaders at all levels, and in our current leadership team, we have a veteran, a woman, a member of the LGBTQ community and an immigrant. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and thank you for all your contributions to GoCanvas over the years.

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.
