Pros

-The product sells itself, and it is applicable to any business. -People are amazing - this is the main reason why most employees love working here -Great role to get your feet wet in the sales world

Cons

Pay is EXTREMELY low -Base pay is about 30-50% lower than most competitors/tech companies in Seattle. Unacceptably low given the current levels of inflation. -38-45K base is practically an unlivable wage in Seattle as is, and this issue has been amplified in the past year. -Reps should not have to live with their parents to avoid living paycheck to paycheck.

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.
