I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Docusign
Interview
The HR contacted me through LinkedIn and sent me a take home test. I did it pretty well, but they sent me an automated email saying they found more qualifying candidates. I wish they could atleast send me a proper review of what could have been improved, when the candidates invest so much time in the take home test. Not a good experience.
We are very sorry to hear of your experience. If you are open to it, our VP of Recruiting, Nic Jagoe, would be interested in hearing more. She can be reached at Nic.Jagoe@docusign.com.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Docusign (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
I applied online late Jan 2019, had recruiter contacted me within one week. Took 1 phone interview and 5 around onsite interviews. DocuSign has best interview experience, and I like their product and projects. I choose a pre-IPO company, otherwise, DocuSign is a very good choice.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Docusign (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2018
Interview
At first I thought Docusign was a place I'd recommend people interview at but after receiving an offer I changed my mind. Yes you read that correctly, I DON'T recommend this place after being GIVEN an offer.
I was bait-and-switched on the leveling and strung along the whole way, wasting both the company's time and mine. I was offered an entry software engineering position despite multiple offers with senior software engineer and >6 years of experience. Why not ask harder question or probe more with follow up questions instead of extending an offer for a lower position?? Compensation was reasonable but the recruiter tried to gloss over the fact that it was for an entry position. Clearly I should have been more suspicious when most interviewers didn't ask any follow up questions.
Needless to say, I went with an offer elsewhere. I will NOT be 'reaching out' to any talent acquisition folks because there's not really anything they can do to remedy this. It took a whole month to get from setting up the phone interview to getting the offer and no one gained anything out of it except inflating some interviewers' ego.
Phone screen went really well according to the interviewer, we finished early and he said that the technical portion only goes longer for less proficient people.
On-site, I had two pretty dumb/discouraging/misleading interviews, a friendly lunch, and two regular interviews with lots of follow up. The next day they called me to tell me they were on the fence and asked me to come in again to do two more interviews with the VP and director. Those two interviews were much more reasonable than the first two and led to an offer.
