Cons
Not really a con... depending on what you want... but the company is growing very fast, and its easy to get lost. A lot of people that have been here more than a few years remember a much smaller company.

Not evil? Were you ex-Google? This reminds me of the Don't Be Evil part of their manifesto. Glad you like working here and yes, we are growing fast. I feel like I have worked at 5 or 6 companies.
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.
