WAS an amazing place to work - now it just needs a lot of work - Anonymous employee GoCanvas Employee Review

- Across all departments, pay is NOT industry standard. Every single team member at GoCanvas could be making more money elsewhere. They counter this by claiming that they do annual salary audits to match up with the standard. If they are actually doing these audits, they must be doing something improperly. - Questionable hires into certain upper management positions. I'll leave it at that... - Changes are implemented on a daily basis without a plan of fully executing them when the time comes. They're really good at releasing a new idea to be used "effective immediately", but not know the repercussions or next steps that come from these changes. This leads to a very hectic and chaotic work environment. - Obviously there is always going to be change when an acquisition occurs. If you don't like change, you shouldn't work at a start-up. However, certain promises were made by the CEO and upper management when the acquisition occurred that were not followed through with. If you look up reviews of other companies that were acquired by K1, you'll be shocked at how eerily similar they speak about broken promises made by upper management. - Turnover (another somewhat common theme is acquired start-ups) is HUGE here. This has been especially true over the last 6-months or so. Plenty of high-up people have left due to disagreements with upper management and the decisions that are being made. Those that don't leave talk negatively about the company openly all day at work. As you can probably imagine, this doesn't make for the most friendly work environment. - Depending on the department you're in, not a ton of room for growth. Sure there are title bumps here and there, but they most certainly don't come with much of a paycheck bump. - Not that it should be make or break... but no type of holiday party AT ALL in 2019. This was one of the best parts of 2018 at GoCanvas.
