Hey there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Glassdoor community! We agree on a lot in your review. GoCanvas hires incredible people (for are fun to work with) and gives them a lot of autonomy. Because great people do great work, attempting to micromanage them reduces their productivity, thwarts their genius, and generally makes everyone miserable. Favoritism is not at all aligned with our values or our policies! It looks from your review that you are a current employee. I strongly encourage you to reach out to me directly via Slack, or anonymously if you prefer via our engagement platform. Also please know there are open-door policies across the board - our CEO meets regularly with team members to understand their experience and concerns, and our head of people encourages team members to book themselves directly into her calendar. However, if direct conversations aren't your thing we have the anonymous question app that goes directly to the CEO. Thank you for taking the time to share, I look forward to working with you to further improve your experience!

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.
