Pros

Super fun people. Kitchen stocked with free food. Nice office space and amenities. Great holiday parties. Get to work with a lot of big name companies.

Cons

Most processes are a mess...nothing seemed to be streamlined. Constant change with little or no notice. Very high expectations with little assistance from Management. Pay is considerably less than comparable companies/positions. Zero flexibility to work from home and actually require you to be in the office at 7am even if you cover an East Coast territory.

Pros

- My work-life balance is very good here, probably better than any other tech company I've worked at in the Bay Area. - I have been given the opportunity to move around within the engineering organization when I've asked to do so, even to roles in which I had little prior experience. I have found DocuSign to be very willing to invest in my growth and success; the company seems to really see it as investing in its own success, which is rare and refreshing. - I get to work on and help build software that facilitates commerce, and positively impacts the lives of many people. This is a big deal to me personally; there are plenty of companies looking to make a quick buck by building trivial, derivative garbage and then getting acquired; Docusign is not one of those companies in my view. - When I tell people where I work, the reaction is almost always positive toward the product. I take pride in that.

Cons

- From where I sit, it is a very top-heavy organization. There are executives who were added in the last 2-3 years whose actual roles and contributions I couldn't even hazard a guess at. Their titles seem to be a handful of important-sounding business words randomly thrown together, and I presume their actual contributions to be of similar depth and necessity. - I still feel that DocuSign is more a sales-focused organization than an engineering-focused one. Some may not see this as a negative, but I certainly do. - The anticipated IPO was used as a carrot to entice potential employees as long as three and a half years ago, and still is not imminent, AFAIK. Lots of pre-IPO companies do this, especially in tech, but that doesn't make it any less distasteful. Additionally, there is a fair amount of secrecy and even duplicity around it, which I find to be both unnecessary and counterproductive.

Thank you for taking time to write such a thoughtful review. Would love to hear more about how you think we are being secret as that is not our intent. Feel free to reach out to me. Very happy to chat more. Thanks. Ann Poletti

What is design?

Pros

Lets see....cafe on the 8th floor offers a wide selection of coffee and snacks for free. The office also provides some beautiful views of the Bay.

Cons

Not a design centric company at all. Speed is always valued over quality, which is ultimately at the cost of the user. I got out of there as soon as I realized what was going on!

Sorry you had a bad experience. The work coming out of design is pretty cool and so is the new UX stuff. But great minds can disagree. We wish you luck at your next endeavor!
