Pros

DocuSign is a company that is changing the way people work. Many tech companies define themselves as disruptive, but few are. DocuSign is one of the few. Change is a constant. Self motivation, focus and responsibility are rewarded, but to be clear, success here will be determined by an individual's ability to make success happen for themselves. Though DocuSign as a whole is moving towards becoming a large organisation, the EMEA and APAC markets represent huge opportunities for those who want to take ownership of their role and build a business. The commitment to social impact programmes, allowing team members to engage in charitable work on company time is very welcome.

Cons

It's a bumpy ride. Any fast-growing company experiences pain, and as the company develops, employees may not have the support structures they're used to or feel that they need. It really is a question of sink or swim. This isn't the place for individuals needing close management or supervision. The work life balance can suffer occasionally, but this is par for the course in any organisation that is defining and building a market.

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.
