Pros

The biggest pro, is SiteDocs. They are crushing their goals and consistently outperform GoCanvas and DeviceMagic. As long as they continue to crush, it will make this company valuable.

Cons

An extremely slow innovation culture and an outdated tech stack that is uninspiring to work on, and doesn't help further our careers in a red hot employment market.

Hey there, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with the Glassdoor community. Firstly, thank you for your contributions! With a tenure of over 4 years in our engineering team, you most certainly have had your fingerprints on web forms, workhub, and toolkits, some of our big projects in the last few years. You really hit on something important here; when we are evaluating companies as a part of our M&A strategy, we look at companies that are complementary to us. Each of the companies has significant strengths and together we are a more robust organization. If you have found principles in your work with the SiteDocs team that are valuable and you would like to implement in your team, I encourage you to have that discussion with your team lead. We love feedback, (and have many ways to give it directly and anonymously) and in an 'always-learning' culture like ours, opportunities for growth are always appreciated. Thanks again for your contributions and sharing your thoughts.

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.
