Pros

We got some money when K1 bought us

Cons

I find it comical that authentic is one of core values ("We tell the truth, even when it is uncomfortable") and yet the website is a total misrepresentation of the company today. More than 2 dozen names and pictures are still being used from team members of 3-4 years ago. And yet, the company still uses their pictures to represent a diverse workforce, despite that most of these peeps are no longer employees, and as a way to con new applicants that everything is stable. About us banner page, both of those team members left "Get to know all of us section" - at least 4 of those team members left, some during the RiF "Meet the team" banner - pretty sure every one of those 8 people are gone "Want a personalized demo" - neither of those two people can give you one, because they no longer work here For anyone interviewing here, go onto every page where an employee photo exists and ask the hiring manager to speak to that specific team member so you can hear directly from one of the featured faces. You'll be floored how many times 'they no longer work here' will be said.

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to share your opinions with the Glassdoor community. Firstly, thank you for your many contributions! With a tenure like yours of 3-4 years, you would have been involved in, and had your fingerprints on, a lot of our innovations, from Toolkits to Webforms, not to mention how we all came together during COVID. You are absolutely correct that the last time we had a total revamp of the images on our website was some years ago now, and since then our focus has been on navigating COVID whilst supporting our team and subscribers. Whilst updating the website with all of the new faces has not been a priority, and significantly more difficult as we are now a remote-first company and our team members can no longer come in to get their photos taken. Diversity in hiring has remained core for us however, so much so that diversity has remained steady overall at GoCanvas, and increased in some groups - such as our Executive Team. Thank you again for the detailed list of images to update, I have passed these on to the team responsible for the website, and thank you again for your contributions. All the best in your future endeavors.

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.
