Pros

People, People, People.. People are awesome and so willing to collaborate.. In last 6 mos, hardly came across any one who is not willing to collaborate.. Fun loving environment. Management is seasoned, honest and approachable from tech industry per se but not matured enough from overall perspective.

Cons

Surprise to see no strategy department.. Probably the first company i have ever worked in my 17 year work career that has no strategy department. Although its a good thing that environment is focused on execution but as the old saying goes, "Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to the victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat”.. So dont perceive as hard cons but still feel company needs strategy and one which is aligned from ground till top.

Thanks for writing such a thoughtful review. We really appreciate the details. It's more helpful for candidates as they assess DocuSign, and it's helpful for our team. As for your points on strategy, I hope you read through the email that Brad Brooks sent yesterday and you should expect to hear more from Dan Springer, our new CEO. Stay tuned.

Pros

Mostly nice people, dedicated to their specific roles.

Cons

Lack of team cohesion among departments. Lots of communication and accountability breakdowns, siloed efforts. Immature processes and undeveloped operations. Unqualified and ineffective leadership: I was to be the Business Process Lead but mid-interview, the hiring manager told me they would instead place me in a very small sub-department reporting into Finance Business Transformation. It was never clear if this was meant to be temporary or permanent... I was successful in facilitating and contributing to a project that was 10+ years overdue at Docusign. The managing director I reported to was laid off so a more tenured employee took over as "manager" who had never been in charge of people and it showed. Despite my contributions, I was told how little they valued my work and efforts on a successful project. Definitely a level disparity as I have been Sr. Finance Manager twice and head of a global department reporting into VP level and up. It appeared that all this new "manager" wanted was a subservient cog to condescend, demotivate, and talk down to. Beyond ridiculous to squander my 15 years of corporate experience.
