Pros

Flexible work; remote-friendly; leadership (non-exec level); Education-focused.

Cons

Lack of focus on strategy or product; Lots of political toxicity and manipulation amongst exec leaders that ultimately impact employees; Acquisition strategy disjointed and too fast-paced; No alignment within exec leadership; Ego at exec level prevents any REAL progress; Continual cost-cutting to make stock price attractive to investors, at the detriment of overworked, exhausted employees. This results in mass exits from good talent; Under-resourced teams across the org; No more 'fun' company culture. Cut lots of benefits including some employee salaries mid-year; Inequity amongst the working talent and the exec leaders who go on extravagant 'retreats' with no actual proven outcome or plan for company future.

Pros

Most of the supervisors and your coworkers are nice

Cons

-hiring offshore and trying to get US agents out without actually laying us off -poor communication by management -poor pay, when asked about pay increases were always shut down -will let you ask questions for their all hands meeting to make you feel like they care, but in reality the company is out of touch and going downhill quickly -US agents have no possibility of being promoted for the next 2 years

Pros

Working here gives some good opportunities to learn if you're willing to learn and you can use that knowledge to get a better job elsewhere. Canvas is cool as a product and can be fun to work with

Cons

This place has always had issues, but used to be a decent place to work overall. However, once Thoma Bravo bought the company, everything went *quickly* and aggressively downhill. They promote unqualified and under-performing individuals especially to managerial positions. They do not pay well, not the worst, but they could definitely improve. They are inconsistent about pay as well. It's very obvious that pay is dependent on how much your manager likes you as a person and not your work. If you're friends with your manager, they will work hard to raise your pay even if you are the worst performer on the team. They have been laying people off consistently without telling anyone within the company or outside of the company (this is in 2024). CEO is anti-semitic. During a company-wide call he made some disturbing comments about "wanting to go home immediately" after seeing a large group of Jewish people. Then later on we heard that he was emailed by the founder of Entrata, who emailed many people, including Steve Daly, with anti-semitic content. Seems like an odd coincidence. In another all hands meeting, when asked about the low pay throughout the company he responded aggressively because the person decided to send the question in anonymously-hard to say why they may have wanted to remain anonymous.... In yet another meeting when asked again about pay he responded with "money is fleeting". Definitely shows he is out of touch, which makes sense since he grew up in a rich family.
