Pros

We have a smart and humble team, and the work life balance is very good. If you prove yourself, it is possible to change positions and make career progress, though it is not easy. Dan is a great CEO and the future of DocuSign is bright in my opinion.

Cons

Politics is huge here - it's all about what relationships you have in the company. If you want to be successful, you have to play the politics game, make sure you're on a good team with good manager, etc. If you don't, you can easily make no progress and get no recognition even if you're great at your job.

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.
