Pros

DocuSign Product is the best in class and keeps getting better most of the people are great to work with Great location, great benefits

Cons

Management in some departments are sorely lacking in helping their direct reports succeed. Current positions could change with the drop of a hat and a career direction you were headed in may no longer be through the position you took. To be considered for promotions into roles you would succeed at, be prepared to have to spend your nights going to the bar or karaoke with people you may not like to be "Friends" with them.

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.
