Pros

Relaxed work environment, good work life balance.

Cons

The culture has become toxic with the addition of the latest CRO. Career opportunities are very limited, especially for women or minorities.

Hey there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with GoCanvas. Thank you too, for your many contributions to GoCanvas' growth over the past decade. I am sorry to hear that your feedback is negative, and can only hope that for the majority of your tenure your experience was positive and that disagreements with a new strategic leader are what has soured your view. We are dedicated to meaningful Diversity and Inclusion, and execute policies that ensure our D&I practices are lived not espoused. We have both genders, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and veterans on lour leadership teams, we do not issue an employment offer unless diverse candidates were interviewed in the process, promotions are based on merit alone, and our parental leave program is broadly used and has no impact on promotions. Where I do agree with you is that in some departments/roles career progression is limited. We would love to help all team members grow their careers completely within the GoCanvas team, though sometimes this is not possible. I have no doubt that you wore many hats over your tenure and grew in your career whilst with us. I wish you well in your future career also.

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.
