POC RUN FROM THIS PLACE!! BLACK LIVES DO NOT MATTER HERE

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

“Unlimited” PTO and WFH opportunity. Ability to make money beyond your fixed salary and that’s all!

Cons

This company is a con artist when it comes to diversity and inclusion. POC are overly micromanaged and subjected to different subjective rules by HR. The HR team is extremely prejudice and practices a plethora of discriminatory procedures for employees of color that it does not expect for the Caucasian team members. Their Diversity and Inclusion team is steadily being built out but doesn’t include more than 3 POC at even given time within its membership to share in spearheading the Diversity and Inclusion efforts. On a diktat basis my black coworkers and myself are subjected to harassment, micro agressions, derogatory and racist statements as well as second class treatment. I wish I would have known this before joining this company, please take my word for it. Your better off going somewhere where you can be your authentic self and not have to run from your authentic self.

Hey there, thank you for sharing your opinion with the Glassdoor community. I am troubled to hear of comments like these, because we take inclusion, discrimination and harassment incredibly seriously. We very rarely receive complaints, as our focus is on a respectful and empathetic culture, however on the rare occasions that we do, they are treated seriously, thoroughly investigated and action is taken. We have not received a complaint that reflects your comments. Further comments like these confound me precisely because concerns do not reflect actions taken, the data we have, or the comments we have received from the people of color on our team. The Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging Advisory Council is a voluntary group open to all team members, the chairperson of that group specifically reached out to people of color to connect with them, gain feedback on ensuring the council feels supportive, safe and inclusive, and to invite their participation. Additionally, we measure the engagement of our team weekly. We analyze this data regularly to get out ahead of potential challenges our people are facing, and to learn where our intentions and impacts as a company and a HR team do not align, so that we can course correct. Upon reading your comments I ran a fresh analysis of the comments and engagement data in our system. The system allows analysis of the engagement of demographic groups whilst maintaining the anonymity of participants. This analysis showed that our POC team members are more engaged overall than the total team and in particular experience higher levels of ambassadorship, wellness and satisfaction. Your review suggests that you are still a member of the team. If so, I ask that you reach out to me via our engagement software, if you wish to maintain your anonymity, and leave me a comment so that we can connect and work together. I would like to understand how and why your comments here are so different to the overwhelming experience of our POC and and resolve any challenges. Thank you in advance.

Pros

Just like any other company every department and manager is very different. I’ve had a wonderful experience and am hoping to grow with this company long term.

Cons

Salaries are far from competitive. The work life balance makes it easier to accept being paid less, but eventually it really should be adjusted.

Hey there, firstly, welcome to the team! If you have joined us within the last year, then it is likely that we have benefited from your fresh perspective, thank you for that, too! I appreciate also, you taking the time to share your experience with the Glassdoor community! I'm delighted to hear that you are interested in growing your career here at GoCanvas! We have a focus of promoting from within and a history of former team members who joined us as junior team members or directly from college, that grew their career and graduated from us into dream roles in other companies. I agree that especially in a remote and hybrid environment that the nuances of each team are more pronounced. At GoCanvas, some teams express and emphasise some values more than others, so teams can feel a little different. However, each team member can point to examples they have experienced of all our values being lived out within their teams, and do so twice a year as a part of our check-in process. So the teams are all slight variations of our values and culture. Thanks again for your contributions so far, and for sharing your experience with the community!

Hey there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Glassdoor community! Thank you for your comments about our culture. We deliberately foster a culture of respect and empathy and it is a delight to hear that those values are reflected in your experience. We recently interviewed team members about their lived experience of our culture and 'welcoming' and 'team work' featured highly. As for our benefits package, the HR team works hard every year to improve the benefits package. Suggestions and sentiments are collected and taken into consideration, in addition to reviewing best practices and benefits packages offered in the broader market. I encourage you to make any suggestions you have regarding the benefits you would like to see, in OfficeVibe so they can be included in the review next year. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience with the Glassdoor community.
