Pros

Great view of the city in the Seattle and San Francisco offices, lots of snacks, and smart coworkers

Cons

It's disappointing that a company that is growing so fast, super successful, and hiring every day does not promote from within. Many full time employees have been here for a few years and have yet to be promoted. Other contractors who work hard and would like to become a full time employee are not offered the position or opportunity because of a "lack of budget" in their particular department.

Thanks for taking the time to write this review. I will share your thoughts about promotions and contractors with the HR Business Partners team. We did promote the most people we ever had in the spring focal cycle. But I understand you might not feel or see that in your own area.

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.
