Pros

- Really enjoyable work environment. Company values speak volumes to the people that work here. - On top of yummy snacks and drinks, there are company wide events like monthly catered meals together, going to Nationals games, 5k's, etc. which is really refreshing in the sense that it helps integrate more genuine conversation with people - Great work/life balance with the understanding from leadership when personal or external things come-up. - Amazing product with people who are passionate about the product they are actually selling, which regardless of your role is motivating to be around passionate people to work hard and come into work everyday - Asking questions are welcomed and encouraged, and you feel compelled to actually do so because of how assisting everyone is.

Cons

- Very fast-paced, classic kind-of start-up feel in the sense that there are constantly a lot of moving parts, and could be at any given time, so while I would recommend GoCanvas to friends, I wouldn't encourage if this kind of environment isn't your cup of tea. - CEO likes to use a "Stop Light" analogy for level of comfort in a job, and believes that growth happens in the yellow (discomfort & courage). This is something I think is huge also to outline for anyone who doesn't respond well to this feeling (again tying back to that fast-paced temperament that exists here). The goal of it is to encourage growth, making sure you're never too comfortable and loose track of that drive, but I only point this out because that's not necessarily how everyone would react to this kind of environment

Pros

Flexible PTO (though this is changing). Work-life balance was decent, especially earlier on. My customers were the best part of the role, and I genuinely felt for them as they navigated a significant amount of organizational change.

Cons

I stayed longer than I probably should have because the strongest parts of my experience were early on. After the acquisition, the culture shifted enough that many people started reevaluating their time here. It became more process-heavy, less transparent, and much more rigid than before. Management experiences varied widely. At one point, I went months without a clear direct manager or consistent point of contact, which created confusion around ownership and expectations.
