Pros

Yes, we have birthday surprises, events, bottomless snacks and coffee but thats not the best part. The single biggest pro is the team, Canvas does a great job of hiring so everyone is passionate, dedicated, good at what they do, and are genuinely good humans. The culture is amazing, everyone is encouraged personally by the CEO upon arrival to become the newest custodians of the culture, to refuse approvals based processes, to ask 'why' a lot, and to act like an owner. It sounds trite, but we actually make a difference, and having worked directly with our subscribers, I know we help them get more done, focus on what matters and sleep better at night. We also have a great philanthropy program.

Cons

This sometimes everyone acting like an owner causes a little friction, because everyone has an educated opinion and is passionate. Though the team debate the issue not the person and it always ends in a good solution. There are also typical growing pains, we are a startup, so we wear multiple hats, and there is a lot of autonomy and the responsibility that goes along with that. Its not necessarily a 'con' but it doesn't suit everyone.

Latent talent and hunger hinder by lack of focus and product market fit Unsustainable workflow and tech stack (risk adverse) Difficult to remain offline during PTO

Pros

I love that i can come to work and make a big difference, i love that i can come to work and know that everyone's finger print is on the product. Culture matters, working at Canvas is a big deal

Cons

You know you work at the best place when there is no CON, actually maybe if i had some privacy while working

Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to write a review of your GoCanvas experience! We are so happy to hear that you can feel the difference you make every day! As for the privacy - we hear you, an open environment is fantastic for collaboration, but calls for some alone time now and then. Have you tried using one of our meeting rooms or quiet spaces to work for periods of time when you need some privacy? Thanks again!
