Pros

Great benefits and good pay when on target. Generally easy approach from management but that may just be my personal experience as my manager is particularly easy going.

Cons

Constant reshuffling and redundancies. Targets increasing and now feel unmanageable and not tailored to markets at all. Treated like an anonymous head count rather than a valued employee. Constant threat of losing job makes being able to comfortably take any PTO impossible when it means inflexible targets won’t be hit. Work life balance is non existent as workers who do overtime/weekends/take no leave are often the most rewarded through sheer volumes of output. Rules of engagement foster toxic disputes/rivalry amongst colleagues, pointless and endless caveats/workarounds to rules burn relationships and cause headaches for management. No clear pathway to grow anymore unlike what was impressed upon during interview process, the funnel to AE/ management has become impossibly narrow.

Pros

Mostly nice people, dedicated to their specific roles.

Cons

Lack of team cohesion among departments. Lots of communication and accountability breakdowns, siloed efforts. Immature processes and undeveloped operations. Unqualified and ineffective leadership: I was to be the Business Process Lead but mid-interview, the hiring manager told me they would instead place me in a very small sub-department reporting into Finance Business Transformation. It was never clear if this was meant to be temporary or permanent... I was successful in facilitating and contributing to a project that was 10+ years overdue at Docusign. The managing director I reported to was laid off so a more tenured employee took over as "manager" who had never been in charge of people and it showed. Despite my contributions, I was told how little they valued my work and efforts on a successful project. Definitely a level disparity as I have been Sr. Finance Manager twice and head of a global department reporting into VP level and up. It appeared that all this new "manager" wanted was a subservient cog to condescend, demotivate, and talk down to. Beyond ridiculous to squander my 15 years of corporate experience.
