Pros

Unlimited Vacation and WFH, most people are super nice and very friendly, offices were very fun

Cons

Worst insurance plan I've seen, might as well stay with obamacare / bidencare. Very shady company communications, C-level executives do not share anything with employees, success does not depend on you since there is a lot of favoritism happening in the company. Pay is WAYYY below average on what people make on the same position, since K1 took the company everything went down the drain. Basically if you can avoid working here that would be my recommendation to you!

Hey there, I want to thank you for taking the time to share your experience of GoCanvas with the Glassdoor community, especially when you are very clearly unhappy at present. Obviously, by the artifact that you have a tenure of 3-4 years, you have not always been dissatisfied at GoCanvas, and by your own review we are a friendly, and welcoming team and you enjoyed our office culture. I am truly sorry to hear that you have changed your opinion recently, and want to assure you that I am available to chat with you directly (just slack me) or anonymously (ping me via a 'suggestion' in OfficeVibe) any time at all. I would relish understanding your observations more clearly, so I can work to make everyone's experience more positive. Once again thanks for taking the time to share - hopefully, I'll connect with you soon. Rae

Toxic Work Culture

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.

Hard to stay offline, not always clear paths of escalations in the event that someone is out of office.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience and leaving a review on Glassdoor! We are super glad to hear you are still inspired, three years+ into your tenure at GoCanvas! That's amazing! We will review company holidays at the end of the year, as they are published now, but will take your comment into consideration. Cheers!
