Pros

- Better than average equity grants, even for junior employees - Company growth prospects are huge (lots of untapped market opportunity) - Not a lot of politicking or red tape - Good access to data that helps drive decision making - Haven't run across any jerks - Good people to work with - Recent product developments, both organic and inorganic, are very promising

Cons

- Some back office functions (payroll, accounting) are a mess. Lack of strong leadership in these key areas, although some recent leadership hires give me hope for improvement. - Not always clear how decisions get made and who makes them - Some management has been around for a long time and don't know anything else besides DocuSign

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.
