Pros

Super challenging, fast growth stock value, autonomy.

Cons

Overworked, lack of recognition, unengaged HR Business Partners but mostly the CEO. After leaving DS, I reached out to the CEO to share my negative experience. I had given the company Kudos in a LinkedIn post early on and he didn’t hesitate to jump on it with positive words. After being overworked, overlooked, and feeling I had no option but to resign, I expressed my disappointment with the experience, hoping to leave my department better than I found it, he began to give me previously undisclosed supposedly negative feedback. It was retaliatory, disingenuous and shocking behavior. I had received nothing but positive feedback during my tenure. Turns out the allyship Mr. Springer exhibits from one public platform to another is purely performative. He only wants to hear positive things about DocuSign from black women.

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.
