Worst company to work for

Pros

I don't think that this company has any pros except unlimited PTO and a fancy office space.

Cons

Canvas is the worst place for anyone to work as there is no work culture, people have a very negative attitude and there is a lot of politics. The company has no work-life balance which is not the case in some of the other agencies. Your work doesn't get recognized. There is no clear direction from either the clients nor the upper management. The upper management gets all the credit for all the work some of the junior members of the team do.

Great People, Great CEO, Horrible Management

Pros

Canvas has had the opportunity for bringing in some the greatest minds in the industry, coupled with a state-of-the art building. The benefits are great (if you can use them!) and it's right in Silicon Beach.

Cons

Let's put aside the fact that the client's are difficult - that is true almost anywhere. The difference here is that we are at their every whim, since they have a stake in Canvas. What they really don't tell you is that they are trying to squeeze every penny of profit and bring on additional clients without adding staff. There is no true HR, the COO has a bad history of driving people out with dictator style of management. They work you to death and do not care - no one deserves raises and everyone can always work more or harder to get them their extra pennies.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, pay, conveniently located

Cons

Extremely unorganized client, redundant positions, internal management serves at the exclusive whim of client rather than as a trusted advisor
