Pros

This company has a really good culture. Good people and personalities make for some great friends. People are really welcoming and kind here.

Cons

Growing fast. Be prepared to work hard. Lots of moving pieces and you have to be able to adapt to growing pains. Top heavy, but preparing for growth.

Lower sales quotas!

Pros

Revolutionary product and market leader. I'd recommend DocuSign to a friend, but not if they are applying for a sales role.

Cons

I agree with the review from another Corporate Account Executive on Dec 6, 2013 - the sales quotas are very unreasonable (talented sales reps are only getting 60% to quota), it's a very bad comp plan, and nobody making any money except for the lucky few who sell to Banks and Credit Unions and to Wealth Management. You are told you will make $60,000 in base (which you do) and $60 in commission, but in reality, you will make 1/3 of that commission. And from what I can tell, despite the majority of reps (and there are many talented Account Executives) not hitting quota, it won't be lowered anytime soon.

Lots of wasted talent, and lots of over rated talent, lot of infighting and politics, adds up to lots of dysfunction

Pros

eSignature is a great viral market

Cons

Those who have been in the trenches for years at DocuSign are left behind with every new VP hire. Honesty is a bad word. When it came time to pay or to admit mistakes, it became time to present a new comp plan, or shown the door. The sales management of the company is poor at best, the old line sales team and a few new commers are keeping the place going.

Thank you for your review. We've come a long way in two years and have brought in some very seasoned sales people. I think you'd find it a much different place today. And we hope you have landed in a good spot.
