Pros

Used to love working here. The people are great, even though everyone notable has left/been terminated by this point due to the K1 acquisition

Cons

- Toxic and frustrating work environment entirely dominated by politics and favoritism - Ridiculous salary gaps even though the CEO "assured everyone they did a salary audit and it's even" (it is not) - Inadequate sales training - A WFH policy you can't actually use - Your product/company feedback goes nowhere unless it's related to something that can otherwise "improve" a failing company culture like suggesting company lunch potlucks - Leadership has little understanding of the business and their decisions reflect this on the daily

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the Glassdoor community. We appreciate all feedback, especially the constructive comments that help us improve. I'm glad you once enjoyed your experience here at the beginning of your tenure, and I'm sorry to hear that the end of your tenure saw your attitude change. We would agree that our sales training was not where we wanted it to be. Our goal is that all GoCanvas sales team members develop into fantastic salespeople, not just skilled in selling GoCanvas products. To that end we have implemented 3 different sales training initiatives so far this year, to rave reviews from the team. I'm sorry to hear you felt unable to use our WFH policy, it is open to everyone, as are our pot-lucks - that have been a part of our culture since 2014. However we must agree to disagree on your assessment of pay gaps - for the same role and experience, our team members are paid equally. I would agree with you that there have been some changes since our partnership with K1. The injection of expertise and best practices has helped us all elevate our game. It really is very exciting. For some team members who aren't interested in this next phase of the scaling journey, or those who prefer a less dynamic and accountable environment, the transition has been difficult. Some team members are now working with other companies as a result and we wish all our GoCanvas alums well. Thanks again for your feedback. We wish you well in your future career.

Hey there, thanks so much for taking the time to share your GoCanvas experience with the Glassdoor community. I'm glad you appreciate the culture, it is something we pay a lot of attention to! My ask of you is this - please use your 'fresh eyes' to look at what we can change for the better. Also, please stay engaged and in dialogue with us when you bump into things you don't enjoy as much. Your constructive feedback and willingness to dig in is what will keep the culture you so love stong for years to come. Thanks a million!

Company Culture is Gone

Pros

Teammates and product are great.

Cons

New leadership is awful. Company has completely changed and culture is falling apart. Fear is rampant and everyone is just waiting to be the next person let go.

Hey there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience on Glassdoor. I see that you are an existing team member, so I encourage you to share your observations with me in the office. As you know, the culture here and the experience of our team members is incredibly important to us, and I would love to dig in with you to understand your experience, with a view to improving it. The data we currently have from the team from our engagement surveys suggest that our executive team is well thought of and approved of by the team, so I would be particularly interested in your perspective. For obvious reasons, we will never break confidence and share the details of someone's career and development discussions with their team lead or the company. I can say that the team member to whom you are referring, had engaged in discussions about their future career aspirations, fit for the role and their future for a period of 6 months. We are saddened when any of our team members experience a loss and we expressed our sadness to the team member in question directly and by sending flowers to their father's funeral. Feel free to chat with me in the office. Thanks, Rae
