Pros

Accommodating work environment especially during Covid Management / teams work well together and feel you are part of a team (when doing your actual work) Benefits

Cons

DocuSign says it is a people first company - it is not one unless you are part of the right narrative Been in meetings at all levels hearing conservative views shut down/bashed Very left - and politics are brought up almost daily in meetings Conservatives have a fear of backlash for their views and are scared to speak up

Thanks for sharing that you believe the company has been accommodating during COVID and that teams work well together. The benefits have also gotten so much better, I agree. Our employee first approach means employees have more input into how we are designing the future of how we will work. As a result of listening to employees, as we reopen our offices, more than 90% of team members will be able to work remotely. We have also expanded the benefits based on feedback from our employees. As for conservative values not being listened to, I agree that country and world politics has less of a place in day to day worklife at DocuSign. I do know that on our leadership team we do have a wide range of views -- not all liberal. Is there a way that you can flag the bias in the flow of a discussion that could curb the political discussions -- perhaps something like "I might have a different view on this but prefer not to speak politics with colleagues at work. Can we shift gears here?" or "I have been finding the political debates in general a bit draining. Can we shift gears here and get back to the project?" I have found people very receptive at DocuSign when they are made aware of their bias in a respectful way. Tone and words matter. Give it a try. You might find it works and also helps your colleagues' professional development.

Pros

Stock price is on a tear. eSignature product is still the gold-standard.

Cons

eSign product is already widely-adopted, so Enterprise AE's have to sell CLM which does not solve a big enough problem to generate large orders, and act as a reseller for small 3rd party software solutions. All of these secondary products have long sales cycles and none are top of the line products. OTE attainment is miserably low at less than 75%. We are not making money or having fun.

Pros

RSUs, excellent customer success organization, amazing product. Great career starter for anyone under 30.

Cons

If you are a seasoned Account Manager, think twice before choosing DocuSign. Poor sales leadership, no training for managers, very young, very inexperienced. Toxic work culture for Account Managers. Management has created a shadow culture of favoritism, nepotism, and hostility against the rest. Management has no longitudinal view of their business. Everything is a scramble, everything is due yesterday. Account Managers have to smile, have "yes men" mentality, and are worked night and day. No real recognition or career pathing. Career discussions are merely a charade designed to target AMs who have low job satisfaction. Many AMs are treated poorly by their AE "partners", and AM leadership will not have your back. AMs are a "junk drawer" for the activities that AEs don't want to do. AEs and RVPs have all the power. AMs are not empowered, have responsibility for accounts/renewals/growth quota, but no authority, as the AEs are the relationship "owners". This creates an intrinsic conflict, and there are no ROEs or swim lanes. No deal desk, unrealistic quotas, book shuffle ever few months, which makes relationship development a challenge. I was told I would be managing 40 accounts when I started, at one point I had over 90. If you need help internally, good luck. "Everyone for themselves" mentality, instilled and reinforced by leadership. Fyi: employees are instructed and pushed to give Glassdoor reviews right out of the gate, before they've even really start the job.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We have shared your review with Sales Leadership. Please also let us know who is telling new hires to write reviews. It is not included in new hire onboarding and whenever we encourage employees to write reviews we always specifically point out that new hires should wait at least 6 months before writing a review so they can provide deeper insights so candidates learn more about our company. If you are not comfortable approaching me directly, please let your HR Business Partner know. They will respect your confidentiality.
