Pros

DocuSign's greatest asset is its product. I think most of us that work here agree that we're proud to work for a company who produces such a powerful, easy to use tool. People here are fun and friendly. Lots of food. Good office locations and nice working environment.

Cons

As mentioned in other reviews, DocuSign's internal processes are in dire need of improvement. Although "process" comes up a lot in the hallway in frustration laced conversations but upper management is taking no action to improve them. This inaction is evidence of either a general apathy on management's part, ignorance regarding how nimble companies manage process, or a lack of executive leadership which should be clearing barriers to enable sales and administrative execution opposed to spinning around in an attempt to get through internal processes.

Sounds like you have some good ideas of how we can improve some internal processes. Here are a couple of ways you can turn those thoughts into action: 1) talk to your manager 2) initiative a skip level meeting with senior management 3) talk to your HR Business Partners manager 4) post on Cowbell 5) bring it up in a leadership meeting (or have your Director do this) 6) approach the person who owns the process with IDEAS of how to improve the process. (Sometimes people are stretched and haven't had time to review a process) 7) tap the thinking of Catherine Courage's group -- perhaps they can pull together a journey mapping session with key stakeholders to consider ways to improve and streamline the processes. They are doing this with our vendor approval group right now.

Pros

- Amazing market opportunity. eSignatures are inevitable. This is the future of signing documents, coming to agreement, etc - Strong market lead. Solving eSignature problems around the world - legality, compliance, local cultural preference etc - is not easy. We are making the investments to stay ahead of the smaller players - Experienced management team. Our leaders have created and run successful public companies before. No first-timers here.

Cons

- Commoditization. We are working day and night to avoid being perceived as a Feature (versus being a Platform / Product). So far we are doing a great job - Competition. The market is hot, so competition is fierce (and growing). That's largely a positive, but we need to continue selling value to fend off the low-end market pressure we get from vendors giving away low-value eSignature offerings at low prices. This is a solve-able problem. - Change. Growing a company at this pace, with this type of unique product offering (Consumer, Enterprise, Global, etc), is tricky. Getting the right people in at the right time is a very nuanced exercise. We have had leadership changes - positive ones - but they still take time to process and adjust to. The current leadership team is settling in and doing a great job.
